1 point for the songs, 1 point for Arcane and 1 point for the skins. The game itself is nice, the runes system, the items but the CHAMPIONS are the problem. They seem to enjoy adding more and more overpowered champions. Furthermore, I don't think the devs play the game, they just ask ChatGPT how to balance the game.

A game that would've been fun and decent if it wasn't for greedy divorced mortgage 3rd marriage devs using 'Engagement Based Matchmaking'. Basically these companies will give you teammates to win 3-4 easy games in a row where all you have to do is perform mildly decent, and after those wins, they will give you 3-4 games of griefers and feeders. The idea is to make the user feel powerful and then feel very helpless, which psychologists have found will greatly increase a persons chance of spending in game money to alleviate the pain and feel powerful again.
They don't want the user to feel any real sense of ranked or skill progression other than maybe 1-2 leagues where they were placed, because if the user gets to their true rank, then the user will get bored. Like climbing a mountain so to speak, you're not going to keep buying new hiking gear and food and water once you've already got to the peak of your mountain.
TLDR: The wins don't feel that great, but the losses are HELPLESS. You'll constantly look back at town and see 1-2 guys AFK or some guy running down lane feeding on purpose. And magically these guys are always on your team if you are higher ranked than the league you are in.
I have 2 accounts, one in Silver and one in mid Diamond. Both ranks are hardstuck. Tell me how a DIAMOND player can't rank out of Silver but I still manage to hold my Diamond rank for years on the other account? Because it's a forced 50/50 win rate based on their first impression of you. Yes, if you are professional level or extremely good at carrying, you can break out of the rank, but for those of us who are good but not insanely good, you are stuck in 'your rank' permanently.

Os desenvolvedores não sabem balancear nada nesse jogo, e, ao invés de gastar recurso tentando resolver isso, investem tudo em skin. Comunidade majoritariamente tóxica.

League of Legends, to many, is the peak of competitive gaming—a team-based strategy game with deep mechanics, flashy champions, and a massive global scene. But beneath its polished exterior lies something darker: a psychologically exhausting, emotionally manipulative, toxicity-fueled nightmare that often feels more like self-inflicted torture than entertainment. It’s the worst game not because it’s broken, but because it’s brilliantly designed to trap you in a cycle of addiction, frustration, and false hope.Every match starts with optimism—and ends with regret. You enter champ select, only to witness your top laner lock in Yasuo with Ghost and Ignite, refuse to leash jungle, and die to level 1 gank. Meanwhile, your ADC plays like they’re invincible, dives 1v4, dies instantly, and spams “?” ping on your support who was recalling. Your jungler? They get blamed for everything, even though they’re doing all the work. Midlane is either a god or a ghost, and there’s never an in-between. Your team tilts, rage-types, and surrenders at 15. Rinse. **** game wants you to feel responsible—for the loss, for your rank, for carrying your team of clowns. But the reality? It’s often pure chance. You climb not through skill alone, but through sheer mental endurance. The ranked ladder is less about winning games and more about surviving matchmaking chaos, one LP at a time. Sometimes you gain 17 LP for a win, then lose 30 the next game because your ADC had a bad breakfast. Promotions feel like job interviews, and getting demoted because of one bad game will haunt you for ****’s talk about balance—or the illusion of it. Riot's patch notes swing like a wrecking ball. One patch, tanks are unkillable raid bosses; the next, they melt like cheese. They’ll buff obscure champs like Skarner, and suddenly he's dominating pro play. Akali gets nerfed for the 200th time because someone at Riot has a personal vendetta. Meanwhile, new champions release with overloaded kits, 15 passives, infinite dashes, and a backstory longer than a novel—and they’re instantly meta. Viego, Bel’Veth, Zeri: all broken on release, and somehow left that way for months.
And then there’s the community: possibly the most toxic in gaming. You could mute everyone and still feel the hatred radiating through the screen. Players flame for no reason, AFK at the slightest inconvenience, and throw games over trivial things like “you stole my cannon.” Every lobby feels like it’s one bad interaction away from imploding. The honor system is laughable. Reporting trolls? Good luck. Riot’s system often does nothing unless the player directly insults someone’s grandmother in seven **** let's not forget smurfs—those high-Elo players who descend into lower ranks to “have fun,” aka destroy newer or lower-ranked players and brag about it. They ruin the matchmaking experience completely. One team has a Diamond smurf going 20/0, the other has a Bronze player trying their best. Fair? Never. But the system allows it, and it just keeps **** client itself is a nightmare. Constant bugs, champion select freezing, crashes during loading screens, randomly muted teammates—it feels like it’s held together with duct tape and spaghetti code. Riot will spend six months designing a new skin line, but can’t fix a bug that’s been in the game since Season **** yes, the skins. League’s monetization model is a manipulative masterpiece. It’s “free to play,” but you’ll end up spending hundreds on beautiful skins, chromas, event passes, prestige editions, and loot boxes that give you 450 BE icons. The battle passes are convoluted, designed to squeeze as much time and money out of you as possible. You look better losing, but you’re still **** play? A sanitized, min-maxed version of the game where the same five champs get played every game, and the only interesting thing is whether someone dares to pick something off-meta. It’s impressive to watch Faker pull off miracles, but it doesn’t change the fact that your solo queue games are nothing like what’s on screen. If anything, it makes you feel **** why do people keep playing? Because Riot has masterfully baked in just enough joy to keep you hooked. That one clutch Baron steal. That pentakill in a teamfight. That rare moment where everyone actually works together. Those fleeting highs trick your brain into thinking it’s worth suffering through the rest. It’s a calculated loop of pain and pleasure, like a slot machine. You never know when the next good moment will hit, so you keep **** the end, League of Legends is the worst game because it’s so damn good at being bad. It’s a perfectly engineered system of stress, unpredictability, fake progress, and emotional burnout dressed in beautiful skins and esports prestige It’s not just a game it’s a full-blown addiction simulator. And we, the players, keep coming back. Not because we love it, but because we hate how much we want to love it. That’s the true curse of League.

The game is getting worse and worse from a gameplay point of view. When you are a newbie and play poorly, the system throws good players into your team, but as soon as you start playing well, game after game they start throwing worse players at you, often just trolls and toxic ones, supposedly you have to "teach" them. When you go to "op gg" you can see that the better the individual rating, the worse it is for the rest of the team. Ultimately, this led to the fact that in every game there are trolls or players who are more interested in writing in the chat than playing. For me, this turned into torture, although I loved this game before. It's a pity that they introduced this system, the game used to be much more honest and interesting. And in conclusion, I have not met a more toxic community anywhere else. I do not recommend this game to anyone. Just watch TV series and beautiful promo videos on YouTube

If you think that this game is for while away the evening, then it is not so. Even playing not in the rank, you will get a lot of negative emotions. At first everything will be fine, but the more you play it, the more you will realize that nothing here depends on your skill. Because Riot from patch to patch simply changes the same characters so that they are either not imba or are not completely dull. There are always charms that will drag even in minus kill. There will always be players who will leave the game. There will always be players who play for themselves. But if you go to play in the rank, anal punishment awaits you. You will win a couple of matches and lose six, because your team, regardless of your game, will lose. You will suffer, but continue to play. Welcome to the league of legends))

Matchmaking is not fair at all. it's just an algorithm based engagement system. What it seems to do is keep players hooked: when matchmaking favors you, you win a lot of games, but after some time, you end up in the “loser's queue” and get matched with players who have much less skill than you. It’s a business, I get it, but it still ****.

Game may be good but its so bad. Especially the balance of the players. So toxic for no reason when people think that draft is a rank game, which is not. I have wasted money for good reasons on this game because of the skins but it is what it is. Can't even report players for smurfing like damn so dumb.

the new battlepass mechanic is absolute garbage. it forces me to play the game regularly and forces me to choose mandatory skins. before i could choose to redeem points for skin frames or old prestige skins but now i cant - Each bp contains 25 Mythic Essence. and with >= 5-6 bp purchases I can accumulate enough mythic essence to buy old prestige skins -this is clearly a scam. so i will never spend money on this game again.

El juego como tal, la verdad es que es un juego con mucho desarrollo, y dedicación en años por parte de los jugadores y de los desarrolladores, los gráficos son agradables la jugabilidad es superadictiva pero al final el juego ha perdido mas de lo que ha ganado como videojuego. Se resume en que las mecánicas cada vez las hacen mas absurdas, cada día se llena de usuarios dañinos para el juego y hace que el juego tienda a ser frustrante y que se le pierda el interés, ya que es un juego que requiere muchas horas para poder disfrutarlo mejor, el hecho de que lleves mas de 30 minutos por partida y con un hecho de un jugador del equipo haga que esos 30 minutos se pierdan hace que no sea disfrutable, los desarrolladores no han escuchado lo que se les solicita para mejorar el juego en linea y mejorar el disfrute de partidas en equipo, al contrario se han dedicado solo a vender mas colores, mas personajes absurdos por no decir desbalanceados, para que el que pague microtransacciones le vaya mejor. Al día de hoy es un juego que perdió su rumbo original.

This game is horrible, I hate it from the bottom of my soul. I'll still give it a 10 because I have some excellent memories of the game, but the problem isn't the game, it's the community, which is toxic. In rank there's always some autistic person who takes a **** character and says "I'll play whoever I want, I don't give a **** about the meta". But it doesn't work like that, no matter how many times I report them, they always come back.
Don't play this game if you're easily angered.

Well, well, if u want to have a fun time go touch some gras. If u want an endless cicle of frustrating balance changes, where OP characters get a skin right away - go for it. Pair this with the unprecedented obviously rigged and idiotic Solo/Duo ranked system, where the games' only goal is to make you upset and giving u nothing but the sweet relief of buying a skin. Go for it. Players and community is made frustrated by the system itself. Its not the "random" inflood of degenerates if so many people are behaving like this. I also read: Play with your friends - just dont. The algorythm for finding games will make you both miserable. You will get enemies waybetter than you, while you get the ancient waters of bacteria as teammates. I also read something about its survived for so long bla bla bla, i just want to say: dont get addicted like me - it will ruin your life. Inplain sight: Balance team with no clue - algorythms to screw you if u want to improve and improve your rank - no chance that you are in the right mmr, if u get 10-12 loosing and winning streaks - no chance that this is not rigged if it happens again and again - 50-50% win/loose looks different

The ranked system is purposely made so that you wouldn't be able to rank up. I created a smurf acc and got to dia in no time, while my main acc that has all the skins is stuck. They let you win abit then they match you with stronger players so that you lose. A genius way to make people grind forever. The game was a masterpiece first 3 years and now it's ruined like all the other games and movies and ect. Don't feed the machine and uninstall this evil product.

Riot Games is a company that pretends to understand its own games, but the reality is completely different. Every update feels like it was made by people who have never actually played their own game. The balancing is completely random, matchmaking is a disaster, and the LP/MMR system in Teamfight Tactics is completely broken.Instead of fixing fundamental issues, they keep adding new features that only make things worse. Player feedback? Completely ignored. Communication? Almost nonexistent. If you look at their track record, you’ll see that they keep making the same mistakes over and over without ever learning from **** you’re looking for fair games made by a competent development team, you’re in the wrong place. Riot Games only cares about profits and couldn’t care less about their players.

No matter what anyone else says league is a game that survived more than a decade now and it still has one of the biggest communities, game is good, sometimes it may be unballanced but riot balances things at most in a few weeks. Currently riot did some bad changes about skins and in-game currency but that will probably also be fixed in near future.
community is ussualy toxic and unforgiving, like you cant make mistakes you have to be perfect to appeal them and sometimes even being perfect isnt enough so the game is not only about your skill but also your mindset as well, its drenching
reason why this game survived this long is probably because of its uniqueness there are +160 characters and everygame you are playing is a different combination of champs and objectives like dragons etc. you also have to change your build and sometimes skill upgrades for this reason as well.

A game that requires, you to invest money so you can play characters, the “it's in-game currency, you can save up for any character” style argument goes **** it, if you're used to eating **** then keep doing it. From level 1 you can't play a certain position because you don't have the corresponding active ability, which completely ruins the concept of MOBA games. The game is a disgrace, huge online only because already mobile games are more demanding than that lol

LoL players are very sensitive; many struggle to learn the game and end up taking out their frustration in various ways. The truth is that LoL is a competent game and constantly evolving, but unfortunately, it’s also a game that can be very frustrating, which many people aren’t ready for. If the game were bad, it would have died out years ago. It’s both fun and controversial!

Lamentablemente, la cultura de esports en LAN no es la mejor, sino la peor junto con su contraparte del sur, y las estadísticas en eventos internacionales lo confirman, esto se debe a más factores de la toxicidad en ese servidor y del autosabotaje que muchos miembros practican por simples actos de odio. En mis tiempos de jugador desde Season 6 eh notado que la compañía cada vez menos busca intensificar los estándares de justicia al jugador que está comprometido por competir. Enfocando su esfuerzo en mejorar el contenido estético y crear sistemas de loot por azar. Generalmente el juego puede ser mejor pero debido a decisiones de la compañía y así mismo los despidos masivos hacen que esa oportunidad cada vez esté más lejos de ser realidad.

Riot just manipulates people to keep playing their game using petty events and skins, while this company doen't even care about its players. The only thing that matters for riot is money, just like every company. And of course the matchmaking system is unfair and unbalanced. You either play a very easy game or you play with teamates whose skill level is four times lower than our enemies. Six times in a row i was the best on the team and we somehow lost all those times. The game has become "who will get one shotted first". And I also have seen videos of League's toxic community and i have to say that this game destroys people's mental sanity. And if Riot considers that to resolve all those problems is to mute chat or gambling system, Riot has failed to make a fun non-toxic video game. If riot decides to offer its players a fresh atmosphere in their game i will continue playing

Le gameplay est fun, addictif et varié sans être trop complexe. Jeu free to play et absence quasi totale d'éléments pay to win (quelques skins peuvent être avantageux sans pour autant être insupportable). En revanche, le jeu souffre d'un nombre excessif de smurfs, de comptes achetés, botés... et le système de bannissement laisse à désirer. La meta est souvent questionnable car elle est centrée autour des ventes de skins et des pro players. Mais bon, aucun autre jeu a réussi à me convaincre après autant d'années (première partie lancée en février 2014).

Honestly, this game is plagued of Scripters/cheaters, neither one of my reports are being take it seriously, I enjoyed playing when learning, but once you understand the champs, I am minimum mastery level 5 on each one of them, so I know what I’m saying, i ended up catching the Cheaters, Vanguard the anti-cheating system doesn’t works, they make fun of it. The matchmaking, is a manipulative system, that allows you winning or be defeated, for example, you are god with your main champ, the system match you with newbies players whilst the enemy team are all high ranked players, there isn’t a 5v5, it is a 1v5, it’s unfair, reason why i left the ranked mode, their own statistics show that just 20% players do ranked mode.THERE’S NO COMPETITION !the only way to enjoy that game is with 5 friends, that fend the unfair matchmaking act against **** game is a good game, handled wrong, and that ruins **** MOTHER ALWAYS SAID TAKE ADVICES TO ADVANCE, MY ADVICE IS ….Don’t try this, unless you have a bunch of good friends players.

After many "fixes" nothing helps. - submitted a ticket to try get some help. No solution for nearly a week. Game is just buggy. I have friends who play, and it seems there are enough bugs that they also had to try "work arounds" for all the problems.
I would imagine a company this large would be able to put out a stable version.

A game with great potential that is rotting more and more every day. The developers do not add anything to keep players in the game, there are no events or activities to maintain the desire to play the game, the balance of which the developers refuse to deal with. Instead of respect for yourself, you will see only repression and indifference to you from both players and Riot. The new changes for the next season, which completely remove the ability to get chests for free (now you will only get 12! per year) - the last nail in the coffin of this game.

the game is unbalanced, toxic, the community is toxic, the company cares about making a couple of bucks over skins and they don't try to balance the game at all if you try to play ranked all that is waiting for you is insanity and misery because the games are fixed so you HAVE to go at 50% win rate however good or bad you play the game. All this game and company does is waste your time. I encourage you never to play this game or download it.

Complete sellouts, anygame thats RNG based on their platform caters to people who spend money through In Game Store. Algorithms will be altered better in your favor the more you spend. Riot wants to keep all players at 50% win rate as close to possible so they will force you onto losing teams before the match even starts. Putting 2 on your ignore list after a bad game, reporting said 2 players, then taking a 15 min break only to queue up again and have said same 2 players on your team once again in a promotional game match so if you dodge you auto lose. Seems like coincidence to me, those are the kinds of amazing actions Riots genious system commits while they blame the "players" for the toxicity. The game client is older than jesus itself and god forbid riot spend any of their hard earned scam money to give the players a new game client. Riot also will overtune champions to push skin sells, then after skin promotion has ended they will nerf said champion into the ground. If you want to play a game ran by coinslot eyed scumbags, this might be the game for you.

I have been playing games since 1985, I literally played the first commercial console ever created all the way till today, literally played every console out there and owned most of them, so when I talk about games, I know what I am talking **** the history of gaming, there was never a game that had to shut down its forums because of how toxic its community is. And there is not an online game that I know of which rewards mentally ill children by adding more ranks backwards like they did with "iron rank". I am very serious when I tell you that this game's community is THE BEST environment to study the psychological mental illnesses as you will meet the most damaged people in the word there. So...
-If you want to meet creatures that have 0 IQ?
-If you want a proof that some people are still apes?
-If you want a great psychology case study to prove that this generation is mentally unstable and is mentally destroyed?
-If you want to meet developers who don't give a **** about how their game is known for being THE most toxic gaming community on earth as long as their users are giving them their money?
Well, you chose the right game!
A couple of friends now have been trying to figure out how in the world you would get either 4 human donkeys or pro players, there isn't a middle ground. We figured out that what happens is that you will get say to Iron 3 as an example, they will keep putting you on the smurf team all the way to reach iron 1 with 98 points. One you reach there, they will then put you on human donkey team all the way to iron 4 with 0 points. Then that is when they will put you again with the smurfs non stop till you reach iron 1 with 98 again. We have tried it and recorded it, it is confirmed. The reason they do that is to get you hooked with some hopes that you will get of whatever your league is and then put you with human donkeys to 0 you back to the start and in your head you are thinking "I almost made it" So you keep playing. It is basically a **** mouse trap.

ive been playing for 15 years so of course i enjoy the game but it's bad. it could be so much better with real match matching. it doesnt matter how good you are, it's all random. this makes it so bad players can get carried higher and good players can get placed lower, so no matter what rank you are the games are unbalanced. After years of the same system riot thinks punishing the team as a whole is the answer while trolls, grievers, tilters, autofilled, disconnects(+rage quits), smurfs, and bad players exists in nearly every game in some form or another, often times multiples of any combinations of the above. You just have to hope your combination is better than the enemies, hence the randomness. Player's skill level are so all over the place that it creates unfun unsatisfying wins and unfun unwinnable games. In my emerald games it feels like im laning with an adc that's never even used a mouse and keyboard before and trying league for the first time. They dont know how to smoothly control their character, they dont know how to combo their abilities correctly, they don't move in between autos, cant cs, they have no sense that someone is about to shoot a skill shot at them, and they have no sense when to fight even when they have both summoner's up and someone's engaging, in EMERALD rank! These are just some of the basics they should easily be able to auto pilot just from getting to 30 to play ranked. Yet some how they dont and yet some how they are the same rank as me. they have 0 sense of danger and 0 skill to do anything. it's kinda crazy ive been playing this game for 15 years and i get matched with baby's first league game. This is not a rare occurrence either, and not just with the adc. many of my team mates struggle in my elo like they've never played a match in their life before. I also watch A LOT of twitch challenger players and sure 1% of the challenger players are actually challenger, but the rest are just as garbage as my team mates. so why am i even trying to climb when the games in higher elos dont even look any less random or any more enjoyable then what im experiencing now. so queing up and climbing is pretty much gambling on a slot machine especially as a solo que support main. riot is completely okay with everybody calling each other trash and wasting everyone's time all because of their poor quality match made games. nobody is actually ranked where they should be except maybe 1% of people. the more time you have to grind games, the more youll climb. not the better you get, the more you grind. as a side note ive stopped spending money on this game 8-10 years ago solely based on the fact riot doesnt deserve it. id rather set my 10 bucks on fire than give it to riot for a skin. once i find a game to replace league im gone for good, supervive and even heroes of the storm seem like better options at the moment.

This game feels like an uninspired and poorly executed attempt to replicate Dota, falling short in almost every aspect. The gameplay is plagued by severe balance issues, making it frustrating and uncompetitive. On top of that, the player community is overwhelmingly toxic, which significantly detracts from any potential enjoyment the game might offer. Overall, it lacks the depth, polish, and positive player interaction that are essential for a truly engaging experience

The Vanguard anti-cheat system does not work normally. My friend couldn't log in because of him, and also restart (it only starts when the PC is turned on, i.e. it needs to be restarted during the match). It is also impossible to recreate the game normally (within 3 minutes it is difficult to say whether a person will be able to enter or not), after this time you can only give up (26 units of raining are removed for this (I had a case when we gave up at the 3rd minute 48 seconds). The player selection system is not very good (i.e. sometimes they throw with a large rating spread). Playing team fight tactic is similar to playing in a casino (you win mainly not by arranging characters and tactics in the game, but by dropping rare and necessary class of champions, as well as items suitable for them). Poor performance and optimization (same for The Vanguard anti-cheat system) a of the client (at the same time, it is rarely updated).

Riot Vanguard miał chronić graczy, ale w rzeczywistości stwarza więcej problemów niż pożytku. Instalacja tego antycheata to koszmar — często kończy się niepowodzeniem, a reinstalacja nie pomaga. Działa na poziomie kernela, co rodzi obawy o bezpieczeństwo i powoduje problemy techniczne, takie jak spowolnienie systemu czy konflikty z innym oprogramowaniem.Dodatkowo, po każdej aktualizacji gry wymagane jest ponowne uruchomienie komputera, a w przypadku błędnego hasła trzeba przechodzić przez irytujące układanki AI. Riot Vanguard to nieudany system, który sprawia, że granie jest męczące i frustrujące. Poddaje sie 1/10

The Game is salty, which I came back to a couple of times in the past year or so, and people are either super tryhards or very, very salty when they lose, or things don't go their way. My opinion is to stay away from this game community ****. Devs don't care, don't take care community and toss tryhards or ragers so newcomers cant enjoy a game or two without some guy telling you you ****; no one out there telling you, oh, build this to help get tanker or do more damage heal more or whatever played over 100 games on my account not going back to this crap.

Stupid game devs turned this great game into hot garbage.
1. No more original devs, who made this game successful and popular, like Morello and Gunsoo. Right now it's just a mess
2. At early times devs atleast made intentions to fix balance, like it should be in every game, especially with competition. With time passed, it turned into bad dev habit of making changes for the sake of changes, adding more and more unbalanced garbage without even intention to fix previous mess they made.
3. Toxic community. And devs refusing to adress problems connected to it. Like banning people for saying mean words, even when they can be muted, and ignoring griefing and intentionally feeding cases. The most ridiculous thing is that you can be banned for flaming griefer or inter, while they will still be unbanned
4. Original LoL had different classes with different roles, they took that system from original Dota and that's what hooked me. Now it's just a mess anyway. Over time they just kept adding more gold, damage and CDR to everyone turning the game from something like tactical chess and mindgames during lining phase, into League of oneshots and Fortnite-like gameplay: fast-paced oneshot simulator especially if you play with glass cannon type of class.
Overall can't recommend this game to anyone and new players will struggle with toxicity and stupid leveling system

There is a decent game underneath everything but it's too deep to find. Devs too worried about selling oversexualized anime schoolgirl skins to care. Nobody wanted to play jg so they made them op, so the players with most impact are elo inflated trash who just play jg because they can't last hit. Riot keeps releasing champs with more and more dashes and skills that punish you for playing a champ without a dash. Also the game punishes you hard for not building damage, everyone builds damage, there is no utility survivability, mobility. That just comes from your champ, you only build damage because the game is made for 12 year olds who only want big number. CC is super short but you can usually get 100-0 on a .25 second stun. They are constantly nerfing tenacity because assassins were unable to do their whole combo on .2 instead. Assassins counter squishy champs by one shotting you and tanky champs by having more mobility. Assassins are no longer bad against tanks or in teamfights. They only not have high winrate because the assassins players have their elo inflated, if assassin players are bronce and irons on gold lobbies, they will never have high winrates, it's that easy. They also have no skillshots or just use mobility to get on top of you at which point it's undodgeable. Also, every champ heals a lot, so being able to burst makes you incredibly strong.
Also, nobody under 30 plays this game but riot told their chinese investors that it's super popular with kids, so if you say something that could be losely be considered an insult, you get banned (or if you say riot or if you say a champ is bad designed, you know, normal stuff).
Plus, now it comes with chinese spyware.

El gameplay es un 10, la comunidad un 5, y el emparejamiento un 0.
Es una lastima que el sistema de emparejamiento sea tan pobre, de cada 10 partidas, probablemente, 3 sean parejas y las otras 7 se decanten para un lado o para el otro por diferencias muy notorias en el nivel de habilidad de los jugadores.
Lamentablemente esta falta de equilibrio en las partidas repercute negativamente, no solo en el gameplay, sino también en los jugadores, dando como resultado una de las comunidades más toxicas de los videojuegos.

I played this game years ago, and got tempted after watching Arcane again. The experience reminded me of why I stopped in the first place. The game in itself is great, in theory, but there are a lot of things that make the experience of playing it frustrating in practice. The game is very obviously designed to be addictive, but in a negative way. As an example, if you have a winning streak, the game will matchmake you against completely unfair opponents for your level to basically throw you into a losing streak because, if I understand correctly, it just aims to get players at a 50% winrate. This obviously makes you want to come back to the glory days of when the game allowed you to win streak, but it won't really ever do that. You think it will, so you keep playing, hoping to just 'get gud' and compensate like that but instead it will kind of throw you scraps, and as soon as you start winning too much again you will get a super unfair matchup again just to make sure you lose again. It's just a never-ending cycle after that. That in itself would be tolerable, if only it did not apply this to entire teams, where you end up with 5v5s with one team being twice as levelled as the other, resulting in completely biased matches. I just don't understand why they wouldn't at least mix and match. The more I paid attention, the more I saw my matchups were mostly one team having no mastery on their champs versus a team with 4 out of 5 players with level 6 mastery or above, meaning one team did more than 30ish games with their champ at least vs complete newcomers to their champs. These games end up being quite boring, regardless of which side your are on. It's either a horrendous lose because you get steamrolled when you just are trying to learn new skills, or on the other side you get a win that is way too easy and unsatisfying. I heard this may be because there are not enough new players, so you end up being against lots of veterans even if you are not that experienced. I also heard ranked matchmaking maybe better, but did not want to get into that again as it is too intense and I just wanted some casual fun. The thing is, this may be a vicious circle, maybe there are not enough new or mid level players BECAUSE the matchmaking is not great so people end up leaving the game before they get any good at it. That is certainly why I am stopping again. All my matchmakes now feel poorly balanced and I just do not want to deal with the obligatory loose streak I have to go through before getting a fair matchup again. Since I played, lots of things have also changed, and they removed some of the best game modes in my opinion, Twisted Treeline and Dominion, which were great for casuals. Instead, we now have Teamfight Tactics, a pale replacement. Champs were always hard to balance, and there were broken ones from day one, but they definitely seemed to have upped the ante on that and added champs that have really overpowered toolkits. The cute little cat that is untargettable most of the time, Jhin which is basically making Caitlyn pointless because he's the same but way more powerful, Yasuo's brother whatever his name is that can basically damage you through 1/3 of the map and teleport right back to where he started that move, Evelyn that is constantly invisible and one shots you, coming out of nowhere. And after all that, you have the insane prices of everything in the game. Not a single thing is decently priced. I get they make their money on this, and they charge that much because somehow some people must pay for it, but it seems like excessive use of capitalism and pure greediness at this point. Surely with a profit of 24 mil last year and twice as much projected this year, you'd think they could charge a bit less than a fiver for a damn rune page and throw the players a bone. I get it for skins, but this is just a quality of life thing, and you have to PAY for it. Alternatively, you can grind maybe 100 hours+ for a single rune page with blue essence. Great. I won't talk about the game being toxic etc... because that is definitely on the players, not Riot, who have genuinely added quite a few things to try and make it better. But overall, I don't know how else to put it, this game just isn't very fun anymore. It's a long way from its origins with Dota on Warcraft III. It was just more fun before it became this massive industry dependent game that people take too seriously, including Riot themselves. There is no place for casual gamers here, and it's a bit of a shame, because it did use to be a laugh in the very beginning.

This game needs a new fast game mode like nexus blitz or URF. They removed twisted treeline and dominion and now we are stuck with summoner's rift, Aram (which is not fun to play all the time because its random pick) and TFT. Put some joy for your users and give us a new fast game where we can actually enjoy the game again. Because no one enjoys summoner's rift anymore and they have only given us Aram the last couple of years.

I started League 3 years ago. It's the first MOBA-game I tried. I wouldnt do it again today. I now know, that Dota 2, another big MOBA-game, is the better option for me. Because in League, many go afk or surrender the game and then it ends before it's finished. It's hard, it doesnt matter how good you play, you could be the best player of the world, but when 4 agree to surrender, the game ends automatically. Its ripped out of your hands and you can do nothing about it.
It takes a lot of time to learn such a game, I recommend new players to think about which of the games is worth it, before investing too much time.
In League, unlike to Dota 2, games often get surrendered. For me, this is the most frustational expierence the game constains. People who played this game since the beta-phase before season 1 told me, that surrendering got easier over the years. Riots recently made it even easier for people to surrender, this phenomena ''surrender'' is increasing and nothing is more demotivating than playing all the time and learning this new complex game to ranked and then dont even get the chance to win because the game ends before its even finished. And this happens a lot.
In Dota this seems to happen much less. Maybe bc of the community, but also players who only want to play easy matches and surrender the hard one dont even have the chance to surrender as easy as in League.
Me and some friends honestly think about quitting with League and starting with Dota 2 instead. A better community, nicer designs and medieval vibes, there are many reasons, but the deep, forcefully strong, negative emotion, that arises when you loose a game where u put in all your effort just because the others think its a loose and riot seems to go even more towards this direction

The game revolves around a 5v5 player matches. Sadly, there is an obvious system behind that defines who plays against who, outside of the basic 50% chance for victory for both sides.
In some games you are put in an extremelly free victory scenario, and in others you have an impossible to win game (Because of trolls). Most of the game no longer revolves around skill matchup, butrather the enforcement of 50% win rate for all players.
There is no real competition in the ranked system.

I try to just have fun with my friends. These devs have given up. The game is terribly balanced no matter the game mode. Ranked is filled with people who leave the game after match making or intentionally feed. We have tried playing more casual games like the draft and blind pick each game is poorly balanced so each game tilts either way. ARAM is impossible to play, I am writing this review after losing 10 games in a row with a triple stack. I know what you are thinking. You're bad. I may be but after the scales being tilted in one teams favor in every game mode, the lack of balance in the characters and a buggy client. I hate to say it, but I will be done.

Truly, a terrible game. This is coming from someone who played league for far too long. And no, I didn't come here after rage quitting to leave this scathing review, I just genuinely think League of Legends is a terrible game in pretty much every aspect. I wouldn't have said that in the past but I'm saying it now and I wish I hadn't played it so long. It's the only game where I actually, eventually question my own moral character because it turns me into a real ****. No other game (or other person, place, or thing for that matter), competitive or not, has ever been able to turn me into as big an **** as I am in League. This game is notoriously bad for your mental health. It's a commonly talked about topic in the League community.
The community is one of the worst, if not the worst. Riot seems to almost promote the toxicity by never banning or punishing the ones truly making the game unplayable for you from time to time. They FINALLY implemented a proper report system after NEARLY A DECADE of complaints showing that they truly don't care about it. Instead of cleaning up the community, it seems to have done nothing. I've heard of many people who simply complained about someone ruining a match and ended up with a permanent ban when the person actively ruining the game got a slap on the wrist... or absolutely no punishment. A lot of the streamers and youtubers are quite toxic. It's gotten better but just a few years ago, all the popular streamers were toxic as hell. What an example to set for the community.
Other reasons to avoid (in short hand): terrible balancing, cutesy or edgy (childish) character designs, power creep (each new character has more and more ridiculous abilities - ala 5 dashes on low cooldown when old champs could dash once), matches are truly miserable to play if you're not winning due to hyper snowballing and overloaded damage (many times you can't do anything but wait the game out), one singular person can ruin an entire match and make you lose (and some people actively do this with seeming immunity), terrible graphics, constant skin releases as opposed to proper balancing or upgrading THE ACTUAL GAME QUALITY, pretty much everything is about damage when it really comes down to it (one dimensional at it's core), game is run on spaghetti code, client was absolutely terrible and buggy for years on end and for some still is, vanguard (anti-cheat) now requires you to give Riot (potentially) access to every single file on your computer, the ranking system is EXTREMELY grindy (goodbye career and wife if you want to play competitively)... need I go on?
Everything about this game is outdated and anyone who defends it is gaslighting themselves because they can't just up and leave it after investing thousands of hours. I'm not saying you can't enjoy it, or that it's all bad, but there is no denying the points I've made and in my mind they far outweigh the positives. Many people agree with these sentiments but just can't put the game down for some reason, and even go as far as defending it, further alienating their self integrity. Another reason for the toxicity you will surely encounter if you play this game. You're a prisoner playing with fellow prisoners (exaggeration but analogy fits).
League is a bad game. It just is. It's setup to make you suffer, and to pay them while doing it. Period. There's more to it, but this review is long enough. Seriously, do yourself a favor and if you really want to play a moba, find one that actually cares about its community, or at the very least cares about its game. I earnestly believe a large reason for League's popularity is because we are living in both a masochistic society and a society that promotes quick dopamine rushes. The game infuriates you to no end (and is designed to) so that your lows are lower and your highs are higher.. leading to heavy addiction. All competitive games are like this to some degree but I believe league is actually designed specifically to lead you to addiction, suffering, and reaching for that golden apple at all times. Should be renamed to "Gaslighting.. the Game." I mean that. League is truly predatory and so is it's developer Riot, which is owned by Tencent. Look them up if you haven't...
Final note: I've been playing DOTA 2 and it is infinitely more satisfying so far. I have about 50 games in DOTA 2 and while it can be frustrating sometimes, like any competitive game, the experience has been far better. It's been said before that Dota is more like chess and I agree. League would have to be checkers in this analogy... maybe connect 4.. Is Dota 2 perfect? No, but it is LEAGUES better than league, anything is.

I tried downloading this game a few days ago and it feels unplayable.
the tutorial teaches you 3 of the fundamental mechanics but leaves you on your own to try to figure it out. the camera in this game is horrible, its very hard to navigate and several champions hit you from 1-2 screens away. the tutorial doesnt help with this at all and it just switches from locked to free at some point. there is no skill based matchmaking, i played my first game against people who are also in their first game which i did bad in, then they put me into a game with someone who has been playing for months. the interface to do anything except for in a match is very confusing to. there is no tutorial or any piece of information on how to find things.

I can not like this game.
I am happy that it did not pick up my interests unlike other people, I gave it a try with friends anyway. But still those who play it and I asked will never admit that they like it. The game is purely online pvp, which is not a bad thing, but after about 10 games with friends, we got enemy players withmore than 1000 hours of playtime and ruin the whole fun, becaue the game is purely skill based, therefore unplayeable of those staring and playing rarely. The lenght of a match can differ therefore resulting to matches loner than an hour when you are unlucky, which is still the average daily playtime of an adult with a job and responsibilities. The thing is, that many people can not let go of it due to their massive playtime, resulting to them only playing it out of desperation or another force telling them to contine. Always remember: A videogame should bring you joy, if it does not, stop.

This game isn't just terrible, it's only going to get worse. Developers are becoming more confident and bold in their desire to remove personal influence from the game. Over the years, they've made the game a clown fiesta where you just join random skirmishes on the map and hope it doesn't end in something catastrophic. Any other action will greatly reduce the chances of winning, and you have no other means of victory.
This season they also introduced a forced grindwall in the emerald rank, now when you get there you won’t be able to quickly get past it (and this is the worst elo in the game), in addition to all this they have noticeably increased the loss of LP in case of falling in the division, which increases even more grindwall. It’s immediately obvious where the brilliant developers of World of Warcraft are going to.
При этом в случае если ваш винрейт выше 50% подбор будет усиленно топить и если наоборот то закидывать вас туда где вы выиграете без шансов даже если уйдете в туалет. Все это служит исключительно для удержания онлайна.
This is not a game, but one complete scam. There is nothing fun about it and if it has ANY competitor with the same level of arcade, it will not last even a year. The only reason people play this game is the old engine, which makes the game feel extremely dynamic. This game has literally no other redeeming qualities.

I've been playing since season 2 and just recently came back cause I saw they updated the bots after like a decade.... jumped into about 50 co-op vs ai games and was pretty disappointed tbh. Bot ai is still poor but they sort of jungle now, not sure why they've been making a big fuss about this new ai update? I was under the assumption they'd behave a lot like real enemies as per riot bot team update but they are still trash.
New champions are alright nothing special, they've updated icons but the graphics remain somewhat average in this current year... idk pretty let down honestly to come back to the game after this long to find the game has changed dramatically but not neccesarily for the best.
Edit:
Updating my review in regards to the new $500 dollar skins.... this is the exact problem with league now, riot is a huge corporation these days I'm unsure of their finances exactly but there's no way they need to do this other than corporate greed.
How about making the game better instead of finding new ways to monetise? Just another dying live service that is trying to squeeze everything out the remaining last whales ( look at hearthstone also released a long time ago is losing players but doing everything they can to milk remaining players instead of making the game better) The fact on Riot's YouTube channel they even put the tag 'expensive ahri' I think it's absolutely disgusting and solidified my opinion on league that it's a dead game was only good for the first 5 seasons or so, now it's just corporate sludge.
Finally, regarding my previous review after the bot update early this year, nah they haven't even touched the bots since and they're still absolutely rubbish to play against like ai from the 90s. Embarrassing company and an embarrassing dead game being squeezed for it's last bit of cash, what a disgrace riot are posting videos at their head office with progressive people talking about content but then releasing a $500 skin, **** riot you're not fooling anyone with your purple haired staff.
I haven't touched a riot game in years they're rubbish now, this is the final thing to make me boycott riot just like I have ea

Could have been a fun game for me, was it not for the noob-hating community.
League of Legends could have been a fun game for me, but unfortunately, it is another example in which for me personally, it never came around the way I hoped.
League of Legends is a fast paced, adrenaline pumping MMO Tower Defense /Battle Arena game, in which two teams fight it out on a map, trying to destroy each other’s Nexus. You control one of the many unique champions, in which you set forth towards the other players base.
The base is defended by turrets and other structures and a hero can buy upgrades for their base when they are present in it. NPC “minions” are constantly summoned and go straight for the enemy base. Killing this monsters/minions, earns gold and XP for the champion to level up, increase their skills and buy more stuff.
The maps are square with one diagonal lane, straight towards the enemy base. However, two more lanes from the left and right side, follow the square’s lines, and also make a connected path to the base.
The action, tactics, coordination and tension is great and matches can take a few minutes with noobs like me, or more than an hour for skilled **** graphics and sound is this game are a little basic, but for a game like this, it works and does not matter that much.
The controls, interfaces and menu’s are simple and easy to understand. Even a noob like me got the hang of it pretty fast.
When LoL first came out, it already looked interesting to me, but at the time, I did not get around to it yet. Then, some years later, I wanted to give it a try. I still did not know the mechanics or the way it must be played, so I played the tutorial and was ready for some matches.
But for me, here is where it did go wrong. I connected to a lobby, and immediately got kicked out. This process repeated itself multiple times, until I finally connected to another lobby, stayed in this time and got playing. I was still a noob at the game and in this match, I got constantly reminded of this. I did not play fast enough, got called names, got noob shamed, and overall, the experience was terrible.
The moral of this sad story is, that there is no room for plebs and noobs like me. You need to play God tier, like the professionals. Make one mistake, react too slow or make one wrong move, and you will regret it. Even though I basically “gave” a victory to the opponent, I just got criticized and demolished for playing “too bad”.
For this reason, I played for exactly ten hours, spread out over a few days, in hope that my own experience with the game could redeem itself, but alas, it was not the case unfortunately.
Such a shame, but I did like the game in general. But in this state, I am just “afraid”, to start any match, and this is not how you should play a game or spend your free time to relax on.
So, once again based on my own personal experience, I cannot recommend League of Legends, unless you have a weird kink for shaming.

The game has many aspects that would make you think it is a good game. But this is only superficial. Their trailers are always a blast and the advertisement on their website would make you just think that. Once you dive deeper into the game... understand the mechanics, how interaction with the team works, you realize that it is designed to fail.
Some champions are overtuned, others are undertuned, some are somehwere in the middle - this alone is a reason to frown, but the real mess starts when teams with players, that do not fit together have to cooperate.
The problem is that you are very dependant on your team, yet you are just thrown into games at random. And there the mess is starting. One minor mistake of an allied player can ruin the game for you, at the same time people do not accept the slightest criticism. They will start to grief the game (it is called "running it down" in the game). It will just not work out.
But what really bothers me - and here Riot fails heavily - you would expect that the griefers get punished, but in fact they do rarely receive the punishment, but more the people who lash at the griefers ... again which is completly natural.
All in all the treatment and the arrogance of Riot handling this matter is just the reason, why I can't keep on playing the game.

I am not sure what to say...I am just very frustrated on how the game developed over the years. It is not my job, to help Riot to improve. Usually that is done by expensive consulting agencies. All I have to do is express my feedback with this rating and move on to a better game - which there are plenty - until Riot has resolved the issues.

(SO MUCH WASTED POTENTIAL) As someone who had hated League for years because of how the gameplay looked and what other people said about it I had absolutely no interest in playing. Until I stumbled upon ARCANE and fell in love with it. The world of Piltover & Zaun was something I became obsessed with. Especially the way the characters were written, one in particular (look at my name ;) The Music, the animation, the story telling, it was all perfect in every way. So I downloaded the massively world popular game and didn’t love it at first. (I only played for the champions and the world they came from.) and now 3 years later after ARCANE I am still here. Would I recommend this game to people? Absolutely NOT! I only play this game for JINX I swear. I now have 1 Million pts on JINX alone and have learned a lot about the game. “IT IS WORSE THAN HELL!!” Oh my god I swear I haven’t had fun until ARENA came out. The grind is insane to climb in ranked and to even learn how to play the game effectively at all takes another level of dedication that I can’t even begin to explain!!! It’s the most toxic game I’ve ever played and after all these years I finally see why this game is so hated.
It genuinely crushes my heart to see the amazing world of RUNETERRA go to waste in a game like League of Legends. I have memorized and learned all the lore of each champion and the absolute beautifully written and designed world they came from. with the RIOT MMO that is coming out soon I have some hope that people we be able to love the world of RUNETERRA like I do. I’m so passionate about this that I have entered a trade school for art and world design and am dreaming of getting a job at riot games. I took the world of RUNETERRA and put it into my own game that I have have spent almost 2 years filling up 4 sketch books with ideas. I could literally save RIOT games right now with the things I have came up with. Maybe one day RIOT will be known as the greatest game developing company of all time. Thanks for reading and I hope you have gained something from this!

Hadn't played this game for a good year and a half so decided why not give it a shot.
Holy **** if this game was bad before its nothing compared to where it is in this stage. Before it could atleast be enjoyable at times but 20 games in I haven't had one single experience where I said "damn that was fun".
Absolutely awful, matchmaking has somehow gotten WORSE than it is. Community is still a ****. If this game wasn't free and didn't have that nostalgic element to it I would say it would've been dead by now.
Just an awful experience, uninstalling the client right now. No point wasting time on this ****.

the game has many issues: balance, toxicity, overall game quality/design and also technical ones.

But it is declining very rapidly in game quality. There is a mess of too many champions some overpowered, some too weak, nobody at Riot has a clue of how to put them alongside each other into the game so they can coexist without making the game unplayable. Yet Riot is pumping out new Champions without even realizing what damage they are doing to this **** new champ "Hwei" is a complete joke, he can do everything and anything, but the last one Birar... was as well complete ****.

Sadly League of Legends scores last in both of these 2 important criterias. That is why I recommend not to play it.

The game has been degenerated to a point where your own influence you have on a game is very little and mostly comes down "how many coinflips do I lose and do I lose the important coinflips". Upon realization you can speed the enjoyment of the game up by just flipping 4 coins, calling head or tail and then see what the outcome this. By doing this you evade the long queue times or getting autofilled, while having the same effect - minus the cancerous toxicity that Riot fails to tackle for over 10 years.

Very frustrating experience. It is basically impossible for new players to get into the game, because it is infested with smurfs. Also the balance of champions is a bit off... I did not play for long, but I could immediatly see that some champions have an overloaded kit, while others - I think the older champions - basically do not have anything. There is a website, where you can look at the winrates of champions and it is true what has already been said on other reviews here. The balance is terrible!
Also I think that the skins are too expensive, they barely show any good details, but are completly overpriced for what they offer. All in all not a experience worth trying. In retrospective I am shamed that I spent some time on this rubbish!

What I don't like about game is toxic mechanics that make toxic community. Lasthitting, getting more gold and xp for kill, than for assist - these are all points, that make the players raging at each other.
The game has just gone in wrong way in terms of user friendlieness for new players. The game has the strong base of players and will though go on for a long time.

As for current state the game is objectively terrible.
The following lists contains the major issues priorized in order to how much negative effect it has to the customer (player):
1. Poor balance: Generally speaking Champions in a MOBA should not have more than 1% or at most 2% average winrate divergence. Even 2% is severely notable and has a negative overall experience for the majority of players and indicates that intensive tuning and careful adjustments have to be immediatly made to prevent further degeneration. Currently (Patch 13.24) the best champion in League of Legends averages at 54.29% winrate, while the worst champions are at46.47% (omitting the newly released champion).
2. Poor game design: The game forces you to play alongside 4 players, which you can't control, but heavily depend on. While usually teams - even in a professional business environment - undergo different teambuilding phases that stretch over several weeks, Riot "demands" of you to immediatly cooperate with those players, despite the majority is not willing to cooperate and even actively sabotages your gameplay. Once in this situation you are a hostage, since you can't preemptively abort the game without getting punished, but you also can't effectively play the game, since it requires teamplay, when lacking a team to play with. Despite Riot claiming to do something againt griefers, the process is less than ineffective - and this is a kind phrasing. The system is easily tricked and hardly controlled by any instance in charge. The natural, human reaction of expressing frustration - the right of free speech, where our ancestors fought and died for - is however annulated. You only have the right to enjoy the game, but you are not allowed to express criticism, neither in game nor towards Riot on any of their platforms, without suffering severe consequences.
3. Toxic community: League of Legends always had the image of having the worst community with the most unpleasant people to play with. And this is not an understatement. The only thing that is worse than year X League of Legends community is year X+1 League of Legends community. Riot desperatly tries to implement mechanisms to prevent this like "muting the post game chat on default", or improving their Chat-analyzing tool to detect common phrases considered as toxic, but of course this has no effect, because they are only fighting symptoms. The root of toxicity is the game and game design itself, as it is designed to create tilt and negative atmosphere.
4. Game Integrity Degeneration: It is safe to say that nobody at Riot Games ever thought that League of Legends would last that long. Now being over 10 years old it has far too many champions to be put in one game together. Riot failed to establish a rotation system, where some game elements become inactive. The game is full of **** and dead content, which nobody can comprehend. Also there are many technical issues and UX/Usability flaws that would be forgivable for an indie game crafted in a garage, but not by a multi-million dollar company charging 20$ for a mediocre cosmetic content. New players will not find a way into the game, for the reason of too much content to be learned at once and for the other reason of there being no real beginners anymore, or to be precise: the amount of smurfs that annihilate the fun for new players is another aspect where Riot drastically fails to handle.
The game maybe was once good, maybe even the most enjoyable game on the market, but these days are long gone. Riot is trying to ride a dead horse here. I am happy for everyone who decides not to play this game after reading my review. If so: Good job, you made the right decision.

- terrible matchmaking. for example: what does a silver or bronze player do in a platinum solo rank game?
- players are going afk and still you lose almost same as much points as you would play regular
- client is slow and lags, there is a skip button for stats after a game but for what? you still have to wait till you can join a game again
- terrible ranked system and internal matchmaking rating. if you have a good MMR you get stronger opponents although you are still in low elo.
- depending on your MMR: when you lose you lose more points and when you win, you get less points. therefore you can win more games and still lose more points

Playing this game is what I imagine smoking cigarettes is like to a smoker. If you want to start playing this game, you probably shouldn't. The community is overwhelmingly toxic, and the gameplay is unintuitive, which makes it a difficult and lengthy process to learn the game enough to even know what is happening. Combined with the toxicity, being bad at the game is treated like a capital offense. As such, new players are likely to be flamed frequently until they become more skilled at the game, which will take months at the minimum. Even then, it will merely slow in frequency, and will never stop, regardless of skill level.
Despite this, there's something about this game that keeps me coming back to it. This isn't an uncommon sentiment among players, who will frequently recommend against playing League, with varying seriousness. Even with this poor reputation, the game remains massively popular, so there must be some aspect of it that keeps it's player base interested. While it is hard to single out any individual factor with certainty, I believe that the same complexity which makes the game hard to learn is also what makes it so addicting. As there are presently 166 unique champions, each with about 1 passive and 4 active abilities, which adds a huge number of things a player has to learn to understand what is happening. Even after learning enough champion abilities to get by, a new player still has to understand the macro aspects that dictate the actual outcome of the game, such as farming, map objectives, wave management, etc.. While this complexity is difficult to approach, it means that your time spent learning the mechanics and playing games will directly lead to improvement at the game. This is what has made League so rewarding to me, as I can distinctly notice constant improvement over my ~1100 hours playing it.
Unlike the main positive factor of League, I can easily identify the main negative aspect as the toxicity. While the enemy team is frequently toxic, the majority of the toxicity comes from your own teammates, who are likely to constantly criticize you for mistakes, argue with each other, and place blame for failures on anyone except themselves. In my opinion, this behavior stems from two sources. Firstly, players become embittered over time, as they are exposed to constant toxicity in game. Secondly, over the large number of hours it takes to even understand what is happening players often stop enjoying the game itself, and only play because they like winning and/or increasing their skill rating. Due to this, any mistake or failure in game can lead to anger, further increasing the toxicity in each game. This creates a reinforcing cycle in which toxicity blooms like a fungus.
If you ignore (or /mute) the toxicity in game though, it immediately becomes much more enjoyable. In combination with taking breaks whenever I notice myself getting frustrated or burnt out. While no one is perfect, actively choosing not to engage with toxicity has allowed me to actually have fun playing the game and learning more. While it is certainly easier said than done, League is a game with a lot to discover, if you are willing and able to manage the toxicity of the player base, however you might choose to do so. If you are a current League player who my statements might also apply to, please consider making an effort to disengage with toxicity, for the sake of your own enjoyment.

I've played this game for over 4000 hours and now I just hate it! It has great characters and world lore, but technically the game is terrible! Below I will list all its main disadvantages, which is why I quit the game.
1) Horrible Launcher!
You try to select a position and nothing changes. It constantly breaks something after every update. It can not be customized.
2) Terrible game search!
You want to start the game search and go somewhere, but instead you have to sit and wait for the "accept" button to appear. Then you have to sit for 2 hours in champion selection, only to have someone quit the game at the end and you have to do it all over again. They added a quick game, but you can't even pick one champion for 2 positions in it! You can't pick a line that isn't prioritized in it! So they just killed the fast game mode at the root!
3) There is no interregional game!
Why do I have to sit and wait for 2 hours to find a game? Why can't it be done that the game is searched between all players, and not only by individual regions? In all games it works perfectly well and no one has never complained! Because of this it is impossible to find the game at night! During the day you have to wait sometimes for 20 minutes if there are few players from your country playing now!
4) Terrible camera!
I like to play games when the camera is attached to the champion. And it's just disgusting! It's jerky, there's not much screen space, you can't see anything. Why can't they add a normal smooth camera that follows the champion? So that it shifts slightly towards the mouse? So that it shifts to the opponents if they are nearby. There's a mode to shift the camera if it's attached to the champ. And this function is just disgusting! If you accidentally hit the border of the screen with your mouse, the camera will just fly away and you can say that you have already lost the fight. Why can't you make the camera move a little bit to the side of the mouse? Not only when the mouse is on the border of the screen.
5) You cant attack an enemy without pointing the mouse at them!
Add a feature to have the character attack only the enemy champion! The game has a similar feature, but he attacks everything. If the enemy is in minions, the character will attack minions rather than him.
6) Constant freezes!
I have a top-of-the-line pc, all the new products go well, but why does this game constantly freezes at the beginning of the game? Why can't it be optimized for HDD? So that the game unloads textures during loading, and not when someone uses the ability. I can't install it on SSD, why should I suffer?
7) Different effects of skins!
Unfortunately due to the fact that the game has too many skins and each of them has different effects, you sometimes just do not understand where the enemy attack. For example, I have Lux with a skin on my team. And something barely visible flies at me. Well, I thought that it's my Lux launched an attack and did not pay attention to it. But no! Turns out it was an enemy attack. Why couldn't it be added that all enemy attacks have a red effect and you know they are dangerous?
8) Deleting modes!
Well, why remove cool game modes? When all developers are trying to diversify their game with content, league developers add temporary modes that are then removed. They could have created a normal create and search for player servers that would include these modes. I want to play odyssey so badly, but apparently it will never happen again..
9) Give up!
I just hate the possibility of giving up! Your whole team is losing, but you're playing great. You think you're going to start helping your team, get more gold and win easily, but then your team starts to give up. You press "no", but the game doesn't care! That's it, you've lost without a chance to win. Nothing depends on you! You're a nobody in this game! I end up tilting as soon as someone suggests giving up. Even if someone says no. I just realize that there is no point in trying to play well, because soon my allies will definitely surrender. That, by the way, was the final argument why I quit this game. I lost over 50 games just because my allies were giving up. As a result, when one of my allies died at the beginning of the game, I just stopped playing normally, because I was sure that my allies would surrender, there was no point in trying.

This game is particularly built to keep your energy consumed while it displays very little progress each year in development. As the game goes on you see it more.
The only people who push out this game now are the loyal fanbase who's been playing for years which they've managed to lessen each year as well. If you look at their top streamers whom they endorsed two years ago, none of them are in the league anymore except for maybe a couple lol. Statistically, their player base has dropped in the past two years and that isn't a coincidence. Riot seems to lack the awareness of how bad their game has truly gotten and of course, they're not going to be aware. They don't have any system that requires them to be hands-on in their own game.

Been playing since 2010. Game has consistently gotten worse. Game is fun, community is toxic but it is what you make of it, if you dont like chat mute it. The worse thing is Riot. They mishandle everything. The thing in particular I am going to harp on is over policing chat. The slightest thing, that isn't malicious at all, like legit a joke that doesn't offend anyone at the time it is said will get you banned if one toxic player at the end of the games reports you or everyone just cause they are being toxic. You can hardly say anything anymore but somehow these players that literally rage everyone are just fine. Riot needs to do one of two or three things.
One: Hardly ever ban or restrict anyone. Save it for the most extreme and egregious cases. I see all of this talk about making the game appropriate for people of all ages, yea right. You first riot. How about you remove some of your suggestive and very violent videos from the internet. Also how bout you stop and immediately remove all of your lewd and oversexualized skins and content from the game. And take away temmo's line "Size doesn't mean everything." We all know that's an innuendo.
Two: Get rid of chat. We have pings and emotes to communicate, plenty of them. And with the dragon and baron voting thing its fine. We can talk to our boys (and lady friends) on discord. Your chat is a breeding ground of toxicity.
Third: Make an update where you pretty much have everyone sign a waiver agreeing to take part in chat. Then every player starts the game muted and other players are muted. Every game. If you want to talk or listen, you can toggle unmute all or unmute the players you would like to.

a horrible game , filled with horrible people, first of all, whatever riot things theyr doing by removing features to "combat" toxicity, is blatendly stupid, if they actually played theyr game.. people at riot games who play, yone, briar and yasuo dont count, those people are brainless. if they actually played theyr game, they would see the problems, everywhere,from bugs to, balancing, toxicity is born when u neglect ur players, which riot has done every update, from 200 dollar skins to new champions who are meta for 3months, leaving old champions to rot in the pits of "troll picks" , the game is made in such a way, that if u even lost a single objective, its going to be hard for u to win or do anything for that matter, i mean, try killing briar when she has a item ahead of u, impossible , i get the team effort and aspect of the game, but most of the time, ur team doesnt exist, theyr doing theyr own thing, or theyr probably ai mascarading as human beings, becouse that 0/10 yasuo is either a toddler, which id understand, or a ai , mostly the ladder . and if u rly wanna fix your toxicity problem, stop adding champs, stop making overpriced skins with no effort behind them, hire a actual balancing team that doesnt play yone, briar , yasuo, and for the love of god let people say anything in champ without getting banned, i mean, if i say kys, im probably not going to the get chat restricted, but god forbid i say "good job guys" or im going straight to **** hell, for a multi billion dollar company , u guys cant even do stuff a indie company can, its not the money, its the stupidity that runs in those offices , im looking at u,CIO of adc's or whatever the **** he things he is, wed be better off without him,or the whole balancing team, if u want a team game, where people tryand are mostly nice to you, goo playdota, that game atleast lets u make mods , and have fun in those mods, some mods are even, singleplayer.. i know.. riot has feared that word forever, becouse it doesnt make money, **** u riot, please, with all do no respect, delete this game, start over, and maybe ur comunity wont be filled with fat degenerates without a life who cant seem to go outside in years becousethey have to hit plat or jade or whatever **** colors theyll be adding, ive played enough of the game to realise its rly not for me, the game focuses on one thing,greed, and greed alone, be the best or ull get stomped, which *cough cough* invites toxicity, items are just statsticks with extra steps, meanwhile a certain other moba that has items knows what items are for, to counter other champions, with tons of items being usefull for everyone, not just one specific champion, but will riot ever learn from this? no .. lmao, they never did, its been what.. 13 ? 14 years , and theyr game is still running on big rig raccing >with all love and respect, go kill urself *middle finger* to the CIO at the balance team, nobody will miss u

Giving this garbage game a solid 0/10. Deserved, since it is a long time not about making a good game anymore. The devs are just too lazy to fundamentally revamp the entire concept, which has outlived its lifespan by a large margin.
The entire game design is fundamentally flawed, since it is based on tilt and not on teamplay. Riot expects to know better than the majority of nameful sociologists and psychologists of modern age, by claiming a team can instantly work together, skipping "forming" and "storming" phase and jump right into "performing" phase - in a situation where complex and organised actions are required and at the same time minor failures of an individual disrupt the game experience of everyone else. Also not to forget to mention the lack of champion balance, which is among the worst of every competitive MOBA, or any other competitive game ever created. Best and worse champions have more than 20% winrate difference ON AVERAGE - and it gets worse every season. I repeat: 20% - even 1% or 2% usually indicates that serious work has to be put into champion balance.
And in this toxic environment Riot just expects players to just work. Criticism is not wanted. The players are suffering for Riot's greed, inability and general failure as a company that has no shame charging 25€ for a mediocre champion skin with slightly altered effects and doing nothing to protect the players from the biggest Threat itself: Riot and their own game.

The developer works on his game only in the media sphere. They have laid out new rules according to which violations can be punishable by a PC ban, but at the same time, once every 1-2 games you are GUARANTEED to come across someone engaged in soft int (deliberate trolling to speed up defeat, but without death from enemies, for example dancing in the enemy jungle ).
The developers pretend that they have no problems, with new champions that are frankly broken by design, and are produced on a production line. With an unreal toxic that they encourage with donated cosmetics. With players who spam the “surrender” buttons 24/7. With a selection of players who, when your rank is “silver” and the win rate is 50-52%, throw the top 200 player of the server into your opponents.
This game is so exhausting with its unresolved problems that you no longer have any strength for it.

The game has a really cool lore and many of the characters are interesting, the problem came from 2017 onwards where the game started to lose its strategic essence and became a button mashing game, most of the new characters come with a lot of crowd control , lots of dash, lots of damage and all the old champions that received nerfs for trivial things, look outdated and also useless compared to the overloaded kits of the new champions, some characters can put together a full cooldown kit and have a high damage ult that takes up a lot part of the map every 30s like Lux, other characters like Quyinna and Samira have absurd area damage, along with several other ways of avoiding damage (because many skillshots, especially from old characters) have a long cooldown and a low movement speed of the projectile, while you will wait 10s 15s for the next chance to use it, the shield, the dodge or even the wind barrier have already come back from cooldown a little earlier, this makes the game a sort of orchestrated business for toxicity, as if If it were Fortnite seen from above, where what matters is the frantic movement and information overload, with the high number of champions, the bans have become kind of useless, and the dangerous comps that can give up to 8 seconds of uninterrupted cc, or kill you before you get in range to take some action have become very common, I've been playing this game since 2012, but currently I have little desire, if a few years ago I played 10 games in a day, today I play one and already I'm saddened by the state of the game, from a strategy game to a team game based on short-term rewards, that's my vision of League of Legends, don't even think about playing ranked, it's a distillery of toxicity, the game's community it seems to be made up of backrubbers who will justify any action by RIOT as correct and direct the blame to those who notice the fractures in the structure of the game, if you haven't played it yet, try it, but don't spend your money, there are better things out there.

Actual trash game.
Community wise the most trash delusional toxic players you'll ever see. They will give up, they will do whatever it takes to make you very angry and you will find out that Riot Games does not give a single **** about it. I'm not even joking you, Riot Games would rather ban you saying cuss words than your teammates running your games down 24/7. They have no idea what they are doing, which is why this is a game that has way more negatieve reviews than positive. They probably think it's the community, however they are a big part in their own problem.
I would avoid Riot Games at all cost. They are an incompetent company and they really just make money off people's addiction. They go hand in hand with your passive-aggressive soft inting bastard teammates that know the system of Riot all too well and as a new player with some common sense you will receive the short end of the stick. Riot forces their bs beliefs onto you like they are your caretaker.
Development wise it's also bad. They just release new champs and skins and do nothing new for the game. They added 2v2 gamemode after a decade... It's also trash.. Unbalanced and stops being fun very fast because of that.

League of Legends is more than just a game; it's a cultural phenomenon that has defined the multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) genre for over a decade. Having played it since its inception, I can confidently say that League of Legends continues to captivate and innovate. The depth of gameplay is astounding. Each of the hundreds of champions offers a unique experience, and the ever-evolving meta keeps things fresh. The combination of teamwork, strategy, and individual skill is what makes this game truly competitive and endlessly replayable. The graphics have come a long way, and the constant stream of updates keeps them looking fresh. The rich lore and character design have solidified the champions as iconic figures in gaming history. However, it's not all roses. Toxicity within the community can be a problem, although the introduction of the honor system and the report feature has helped. And for newcomers, the learning curve can be steep, which may deter some from getting into the game. Nevertheless, League of Legends has withstood the test of time and remains one of the most played games in the world. It has not only reshaped the gaming industry but also influenced the eSports scene. Whether you're a veteran summoner or a newcomer, League of Legends is a must-play for anyone looking to experience the pinnacle of competitive online gaming. It's more than a game; it's a lifestyle.
Rating: 9/10

Overall, it’s a good game with an awful community.
The game:
League of legends is a free-to play game that can be played with friends but can also be played alone. There are 3 main game modes in the game: Summoner's Rift, ARAM and Team Fight Tactics. They are all different, unique and have their own play style. Each game approximately lasts 30 - 45 minutes but it can vary due to the different levels of experience people have in the game. There is also a ranked feature for people who feel competitive and want to see how they are improving over time. It is a fun strategic game however the fun factor can be taken away by toxic teammates.
The community:
If I had to describe the community in one word, it would be toxic. If you are new to the game, you should be ready for getting hated on more than ever before in your life. The community is racist, homophobic and just simply consists of the worst people. There is a reporting system that can get people banned, however it is not good enough. More than 50% of the games I have been in, there was at least one toxic player ruining the game for the rest of the team members.
Gameplay:
Most games modes are 5v5. At the beginning of the game each player selects a champion that they want to play with. Each champion has unique abilities and different play styles which makes each game different and more interesting. The aim of the game is to destroy the enemy “Nexus” and defend your own by working together with your team.
The controls are very simple. The movement of the character is controlled by right clicking on the mouse, and the different abilities of the champion are controlled by the ‘Q’, ‘W’, ‘E’ and ‘R’ keys.
Champions:
Another big fault with the game is that the champions are unbalanced. A champion can one-shot you and there is nothing you can do about it, while your champion could never one-shot the enemy. This takes away from the fun factor so much as it makes people feel like they can’t play the game as they are dead non-stop. There are regular updates and patches to try and make the game overall more balanced by changing little bits about different champions.
Graphics and sound:
The graphics is mid. Not the best graphics you have ever seen but it also isn't the worst thing to look at. However, this is good because it means it doesn’t require the best PC in the world to play the game. The sound design in my opinion is really good. Some abilities create sound for everyone on the enemy team as a warning. There are different voice tracks for each champion which links to their background (what their life was like before they started fighting) and also their abilities. The overall sounds in the game create an amazing atmosphere.

Truly one of the best games to have ever been made, League of Legends has gone through many iterations since release, though it has remained on a downward trend throughout most of them. The game hit a peak in quality a few years after release and has since been dealing with extreme power and mobility creep to the point of becoming one of the single most unbalanced games on the market. With staggeringly large entry-barriers and the single most toxic playerbase of any game in history, this MOBA is one to avoid.

Pésimo juego... cada día me voy dando mas cuenta que a la mayoría de la gente le gusta la mrda..
Gráficamente es horrible, solo logra escudarse de su apariencia colorida lo cual para muchos es agradable, pero visualmente es pésimo.
La comunidad es extremadamente toxica y se sienten lo mejor del mundo.. cuando en realidad toda la gente que juega esto son g0rd@s sin vida, que no se bañan y se la pasan jugando unas 8 o 12 horas diarias.
Dentro del juego en si, me resulta bastante sencillo a comparación de otros del genero, donde la mayoría de los items solo tienen efectos pasivos y las habilidades de los campeones son fáciles de entender (también en su mayoría), si bien esto para gente que apenas este comenzando en el genero de los MOBA esta perfecto, a la larga el LOL se siente como algo muy repetitivo, monótono y que todas las partidas son lo mismo.
Otro punto negativo es el sistema para desbloquear a los Campeones, si bien puedes obtenerlos con monedas del juego, existen varios algo costosos y tomando en cuenta que son mas de 100 personajes es algo molesto tener que meter dinero real para obtener campeones...
Tal vez dentro de lo único bueno que le veo al juego es su estudio Riot Games el cual es muy bueno para hacer publicidad.

This game is terrible all around. The core game is fine; the moba aspect is okay its not that great especially considering the core gameplay has not changed at all + nonexistent vision of what league as a game should be.
Community: Toxic at casual play, all levels of ranked and most certainly present in competitive big name high level players.
Cash Cow: Riot makes skins and bundles for revenue and as long as it works they dont care about anything else. Make 1 billion skins for lux + some organ destroying skin for miss fortune, katarina or irelia.
Toxicity: Riot wants the game to be toxic. The toxic community is what gets them revenue. The hardcore keyboard warriors that will call you every slurr just for not helping them try to 1v3. The toxicity has gotten WORSE over the years
RECCOMENDATION: Do not play this game. It is a chore. It is not fun, the only emotion you will feel is relief after winning your first match after losing the last 20. You could run three companies simultaneously and be less stressed than playing this dogwater game.

Worst community ever.
This game is pretty fun when you start playing. However, after a handful of games faulty game mechanics begin to surface making more and more games very one-sided. The matchmaking system is based on a so called 'ELO-rating' which should be an indicator of 'how good you are'. However, this system is only based on games won and games lost. I can safely say that 15 out of 20 games are one-sided slaughterfests, where one team completely dominates the other team (ie. the one team has at least 4 times more kills then the other, leaving that team overfed and the losing team has almost 0% chance to come back from it). Furthermore, if you do get a 'fair' matchup based on the average ELO of your team and the opposing team, you will still be pitted against teams who have way more wins on average than you have. This means that, if the matchmaking system finally puts you against people with around the same ELO, you can still lose pretty badly because the other team simply has more games played and thus way more experience with the game.

Riot game with its 200 years of balanced experience has created the worst moba game of all time, all in this game is a mess of gameplay, ranks, events and toxic community. I've been playing the game since season 1 and it did the best to deliver the same horrible experience as their game making experience. about champions, the design is very stupid, Irelia is extremely imba with only one Blade of the Ruined King item, even though you won the lane against it (there is also a meme 1 champ full item lost when confronting Irelia 1 item.Equipment when changing in a season it will obviously have a very OP item and all players simply spam it constantly causing the game to lose balance, and it's been so many seasons that always repeating like that is unwritten law. As for the boring event, they only focus on designing skins to increase revenue. Rank every time they edit, they rank with deviation, then hacking/ The cheating tool, game breaking, dirty buffs are still showing up regularly, there is still no solution in general, it is a bad game

Where to begin... Ah, yes, League of Legends. A game that seems to be crafted solely to test your patience and steal every ounce of joy from your face. Imagine having a choice between watching grass grow and installing this game. Watching grass grow suddenly sounds quite appealing.
If you love the feeling of helplessness and frustration, this is the game for you. It all starts with selecting a character, which is probably the toughest decision you'll make in the game. Why, you ask? Because there's always, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, that one person on your team who decides to play a new character they've never touched before, and during a ranked match, of course! Sure, they'll die more times than there are lines in a Shakespearean sonnet, but at least they'll die in style, right?
The beginning of the match is a true delight – you get to experience what it's like to be utterly clueless and completely helpless. The enemies seem to know what they're doing, and your allies move around like drunken ostriches. And the best part, you receive some truly insightful messages from fellow players. "Go there and die," "Why are you even playing if you're so bad?" and "Are you a bot?" are just a few of the gems you'll hear.
Have you ever wondered what it's like to have a fishing rod with a long, rubbery stick on one end and a hyperactive fish on the other end, constantly jumping in different directions? That's exactly what a fight in League of Legends looks like. And let's not forget about the ranking system, which seems to be designed based on the principle of "the more you play, the lower your rank gets." Isn't that just splendid?
To sum it up, League of Legends is a game that can evoke feelings of helplessness, frustration, and the urge to scream at the world. If you're ready to sacrifice your nerves for virtual battles, then this game is for you. Otherwise, we recommend making a hard-boiled egg instead – it'll be less stressful, and at least you'll have some sustenance at the end.

El peor aspecto del juego, es la comunidad, llena de gente troll o que directamente no sabe como funciona, por lo que si no tienes un equipo ya hecho (con tus amigos por ejemplo) se vuelve imposible jugar, es cierto que no es culpa del juego en si, pero al ser un juego multijugador, es importante remarcarlo. Su otro problema es la falta de modos de juego, además del principal, existen otros 3, y con lo que gana Riot, podrían esmerarse más

Pros:
- Playing casually with friends is the most fun I can have in this game, anything else makes it a mental drain and a chore.
- The Durability rework in Season 12 was one of the best decisions Riot have made. Unfortunately the game now feels like a low TTK mess where in the games are more or less over in the first 12 minutes.
Cons:
- New champions are NEVER fun to play against. They are poorly balanced and take away 1-2 bans from ranked games when there are continuously more champions being added.
- New champions are being added when the other new champions are still lacking balance.
- The matchmaking is horrendous. There is never a situation in which the game isn't a complete one sided stomp.
- The roles aren't balanced. Jungle clearly has the most impact in the game and your chances of losing or winning highly depend on this.
- Soft inting is clearly acceptable by Riot's standards as they make no effort to punish this

to those clowns here, who claim just to "mute everyone": This is supposed to be a team game. Defaulting in muting everyone shows a severe flaw in the state of the game. It is Riot's responsibility to make the game less tilting and less toxic. Nobody expects players to get rid of their human emotions. If they can sell a skin for 25$ without shame they surely should be able to find a way of making the game less frustrating and overall improve the game quality.

Отвратительно работающий лаунчер, лагающий, зависающий, багующийся по кд. Выдающий рандомные звуки по среди матча.
Отправительная оптимизация самой игры, которая на минимальных настройках проседает в 1 фпс на железе, которое параллельно играет в Элден ринг на максималках.

The developers are making fun of the regular players who have been playing this game for a long time, but that time is coming to an end. The game is already overcombined that every character you play has made up dmg or so many abilities that the game looks like an unfinished beta.

Puede ser un juego muy divertido para jugarlo, pero tiene muchos problemas relacionados sobre todo con la comunidad que lo juega y se puede hacer hasta frustrante por ella. También, las partidas son bastante largas y quizá eso hace el juego algo menos accesible para la gente. Eso si, el juego tiene requisitos muy bajos y casi todos los ordenadores lo soportan perfectamente. Hay muchos personajes y miles de formas de jugar, aunque entrar en el juego se hace un poco difícil por todas las variables de características que hay. La interfaz del menú es algo complicada sobre todo al principio, aunque luego se pueda llegar a entender. Si este juego no te acaba provocando adicción, acaba siendo una opción muy disfrutable que siempre te va a mantener entretenido cuando no sepas que hacer. 6,9/10

Gameplay is easy to understand, but there are lots and lots to learn (150+ playable champions and loads of items to buy).
The community is pretty bad.
You can put loads and loads of hours into the game, but it really doesn't reward you for anything.
Monetization is getting worse and worse.
The launcher is just plain bad. Game really doesn't get repetitive imo. Except for gameplay, the game is pretty bare bones.

The game unfortunately is not fun anymore. I have been playing since season 1, but not extensively.
The developers made the game this way that you need the newest over powered champion in order to have a better win rate. This way you have to pay for the champs. I created a metacritic account only to rate this game. Even if one person is dumping the game after watching this comment, I will be happy. League developers I really hope that Rito goes bankrupt.
Bonus: It has the most toxic community ever.

The game is fun to start playing. Made a few friends playing this game but most of them have since moved on from this game. After a few hours of it, you start to realize that they explicitly favor some characters over others this can be seen in how they "patch" the game and which characters get skins. I wish they put as much effort into their cinematics as they did in making the game fair and entertaining. Plus this game is riddled with smurfs making the experience terrible.

Although LoL has come out with many rotating game modes over the past decade, with some becoming permanent branches of the main game, I am only focusing on the 5v5 game played on the Summoners Rift map, which used to be LoL in its entirety. On the Summoners Rift map, each player is put into a pool with four other players unless they are playing in a premade game with friends, which would lessen the number of random players in the lobby. The different roles in LoL are the Top, Jungle, Mid, Bot/ADC, and Support. Each roll has a specific job within each match, with many players tending to specialize in only one or two roles in their entire history with LoL. Once players have their roles, they pick a Champion to play as. LoL has over 140 Champions to choose from, each with unique abilities and playstyle. However, each Champion can usually only fit one or two class styles: Assassin, Fighter, Mage, Marksman, Support, and Tank. Each Champion also has the same default controls, with the player views them from a 3rd person perspective, looking down on them from above. The game is typically played with a mouse and keyboard.
The main objective of Summoners Rift is to destroy the opposing team’s Nexus. However, the base is guarded by powerful stationary, stone turrets protected by constant waves of minions. The main gameplay is to kill opponent minions and Champions to gain experience points (XP) which are used to level your Champion and gold to buy items. As a Champion gains levels, their base stats increase, and they can improve one of their abilities, with the max level attainable being 18. Gold is used to acquire items in the shop at a player’s base; items increase a Champions base stats and can give additional abilities. There are over 200 unique items in LoL, but the maximum amount of items a Champion can hold is 6. When a Champion is killed, they have a revive timer, depending on if the game is in its early, mid, or late game stages.
Communication can be the most enjoyable aspect of the game when playing LoL with friends, sitting in the same room with you, or chatting on a voice call. Warning your friend about an approaching enemy, playfully teasing them when they make an outrageous mistake that leads to their Champion’s death, or just bursting out in laughter at them landing a killing blow against the odds is what can make playing LoL a timeless experience. However, when playing with strangers online, that same teamplay aspect can make LoL a painful experience. Even though LoL doesn’t have a voice channel for casual play, there is still text chat. I have often made just one simple mistake, and suddenly my entire team is belittling me, calling me slurs, and demanding I uninstall the game. Opponents can also be quite toxic towards you and put you down and call you “trash” and the like.
LoL’s gameplay can be very entertaining, especially once you get the hang of at least one Champion and start showing off your skills. However, LoL’s steep learning curve does hinder most beginners. It took me around 2 years to get my head around the mechanics within LoL, and my primary motivation was playing it so I could bond with my older brother more. Without an underlying reason to master the game, many players trip over its mechanics and end up being kicked by some toxic player and call it quits there. LoL excels when played with friends as they can act as a cushion against the struggles presented by the game in its complexity and the potential heckling of the other team. However, without the safety net of friends, the LoL community is just not a welcoming place that has often made me quit a match in disgust, or even though we might end a game with a victory, I’ll end up feeling less than myself.
If one can get past the toxic community of League of Legends, the game itself is delightful to play. Each match doesn’t take excessive time, and proving to your opponents and teammates your successes within the game can be a thrilling experience. Learning a new role, class style, or Champion can be an exciting challenge. Experimenting with building different items on a Champion can be a journey of creativity and problem-solving. Working with strangers to complete the common goal of destroying the enemies’ Nexus can be a fulfilling endeavor that bleeds into working with others in your day-to-day life. I ultimately come back to LoL because I can bond over something familiar with my brother and friends. But even without them and facing the toxicity of my teammates and opponents, LoL is still a fun game to overcome complex challenges.

I love this game with all my heart. I have played it for over 10 years now and has extreme sentimental value to me. Due to frequent updates the game stays fresh and the meta shifts around every now and then.
This can also be seen as a problem, sometimes things change for the worse to make the game absolutely unplayable and unfun for a while.
Even though I have left a couple of times, I have always come back as it keeps **** me in. Multiple gamemodes (even though RIOT has not brought many of their best ones back), ranked and normal play are always very easy to queue into.
The biggest problem in this game is its community. It is extremely toxic and makes the game hard to get into without feeling like you are the worst player in the world. It shouldn't be normal to have to mute chat when you are learning a game. if you really want to get into this game, just turn chat off or play with friends so you can focus on eachother.
Smurfing is a big problem as well I have heard in lower levels but can not confirm as I have not been there in years.
I love this game, the gameplay is amazing and the amount of champions makes basically every game feel fun. The multiple roles means that you can basically play for an extreme amount of hours to master everything or simply 1 to master that one.

League of Legends is a multiplayer online battle arena game developed by Riot Games that has taken the gaming world by storm. With over 100 million active players each month, it's easy to see why it's one of the most popular games in the world.
Pros:
Diverse roster of champions with unique abilities and playstyles, providing endless replayability.
Deep and strategic gameplay that requires teamwork and strategy to succeed.
Thriving community of players who are always ready to welcome new players.
Established as a leading esport, with a huge competitive scene and major international tournaments.
Cons:
Harsh and unforgiving ranking system.
Persistent issue with toxic behavior from some players.
Despite its flaws, League of Legends is still a fantastic game that is a must-play for fans of the MOBA genre. With constant updates and new content being added, this game will keep you entertained for countless hours. The diverse roster of champions and deep, strategic gameplay make it a game that you can play for years to come.
League of Legends is also a leading esport, with a huge competitive scene and major international tournaments that draw in millions of viewers. This adds another level of excitement to the game and provides players with the opportunity to watch and learn from the best players in the world.
Overall, I would give League of Legends a 9 out of 10. While the ranking system and persistent issue with toxic behavior can be frustrating for some players, the game's diverse roster of champions, deep, strategic gameplay, and thriving esports scene more than make up for these shortcomings. If you're looking for a deep and engaging MOBA experience, League of Legends is definitely worth checking out.

Game I've been playing too long because friends kept at it out of nostalgia. It's a dumbed down MOBA with a low skill ceiling, no strategy and mechanics suited only to making snowballing and comebacks viable as a way to make matches artificially hype. The game balance has been trash for its entire existence in spite of frequent patches because the incompetent balance team only cares about creating forced metas. The community might just be the absolute worst bunch of griefers and pansies you can meet in an online game, made only worse by the fact they can and will ruin your games on a whim. Nothing is done about them, but they will treat you like a **** for saying anything you wouldn't say in church.

With every new champion I realize how degenerate this company is. LGB (not yet T, thank God for that) is the main ideology pushed in and by this game. Also the new song released by Lil Nas X, is being used as the anthem for LoL Championship. It shows how bad this company is. Besides that major problem and extremely high level of trolls (because Riot Games doesn't care about trolls, they only care about people who are toxic) the game is kind of fun. I would strongly recommend looking for alternatives in the future though.

First of all, I don't even bother to play ranked, it simply isn't worth it, it just stresses and not even the skin for Gold elo is worth the stress, IMO.
That said, every time I've entered in the queue I don't know if the next match I will have fun or I'll only get frustated. There are matches that are really funny, when I play Fizz and make a cool play or play Chogath or Quinn and got really fed, it is cool. Also, there are exciting matches that are very balanced and you have to play well to win.
But there are also terrible matches, where you get fu**ed, sometimes the enemy Jungle camps you or the game is just unbalanced and your team is literally r*ped, there are also trolls and anything like that and the fact that you can't quit the game or you will be punished is REALLY frustrating.

You can write many essays why this game doesn't worth your time, just listing some of bad points about this game:
1. Extremely toxic community that Riot does so little it doesn't matter, you are guaranteed to have at least one toxic teammate 2/3rd of times
2. Almost nonexistent moderation. you report clear violations (people love to afk at base or under tower) and you can easily catch and punish them with simple algorithms but no, you have to endure full game and it's not fun
3. Pay2Win. It's extremely hard to get enough BE to buy champions freely, you could play everyday for a month and barely unlock 1 champion unless you are willing to pay.
4. Unless you have 2-3 friends to play with you, never waste your time in single queue, you will NEVER have fun since every single game you find a toxic person in your comp. I kinda don't blame them, Riot purposefully hurts its players to the point they become toxic too, they run psychological experiments on the players, like animals (just Google it)

The game itself is very bad. In most games it is not your own performance that makes you win, but the luck of not getting trolling teammates. There is a general rule of thumb widely accepted by the best LoL-players in the world: You can't win a game alone, but you can lose one alone. This means it is enough for only 1 player out of your teammates to troll, but no matter how hard you try you can't compensate it with the power of your own.
Realizing this it gets a very bitter taste, that essentially it is a coinflip simulator. Everything comes up for youto get the physically, mechanically and mentally more stable team, if you don't, then it is best not to waste more time in this particular game.
Ofc this undeniable truth quickly spreads and therefore you maybe have heard the common phrase "open mid", used when one team realizes it lost that particular coinflip, but the game does not let you surrender before a certain timestamp in the game. You are effectively "held hostage" by a game, which advertises to be "competitive and fun".
In the end it is up to you, if you give it a try. I can only recommend that you do not. You will certainly face scenarios described above much more often than you ever wish.

Prós: Overall, it's low on bugs, it's lightweight and works well on the most modest of computers, it has constant updates, and it can be fun playing with friends, it's free;
Cons: In the vast majority of matches, the player becomes a puppet, where a win or loss is already defined before the start of the game, placed in a time where most will play very well, or most will play poorly, and not the end, they are matches that the player will really be able to have a good experience;
The producer doesn't care about balance, in the end what makes money are clothes and new champions.

There are plenty of other games, stay away from this one, it's addicting but based on your negative emotions:
1. Disgusting community
2. There is almost no system in place to catch trolls (fake placebo reports)
3. Most games are made up of higher rank recycled players smurfing on lower accounts
4. Matchmaking is probably the worst in any MOBA game (also because of smurfs)
5. The client is a mess, bugs, crashes, after > 10 years of development and "200 years combined experience"
6. Balancing does not really exist, it's just a ping-pong between what skin should sell more, or what champion should be bought more.
7. The community is "muted" - do not expect anything that the community actually enjoys to be implemented.
PS: I started playing in 2010, ranked peak Diamond, the game that I used to enjoy is gone, this is something else. Goodbye League of Flamers and Trolls.

I will be subjectively describing what I have experienced during my time playing League of Legends. Everything is from my point of view, but it is the truth from the knowledge I have and meant as it is written.
The game itself is over 10 years olf and has not aged well. I have seen the development over the years and in retrospective I can say that every action made to tackle a problem or improve the current situation was sub-optimal, not clearly thought through, made by someone who either does not know or does not care - or most likely both.
Problem 1: Too many champions.
It is impossible to balance every combination of such a mass of abilities. But instead of making champions "seasonal", which is a common well-workin approach, Riot decided to do: Nothing.
Problem 2: The community have become increasingly toxic.
Back in the day chat messages were read by humans (player on voluntary basis) and then it was decided if actions need to be made. At some point they decided, that this was too much work or this could be made "cheaper", so they introduced an automated system. This is working terribly. People quickly figured out how to be toxic under the radar. A secret "code" established where some words actually meant different words, but everyone exactly understood the toxic intention behind it. Riot's reaction: Nothing. Chats are still automatically analyzed, they tweaked it in a very poor way that people automatically get a punishment if they simply write "too much" or get reported by too many people - independantly if there was anything punishable written.
Problem 3: insanely bad balance, stale champions and little housekeeping.
As mentioned in above, there are too many champions (almost 160 at the time of writing). The best champions peak at an average winrate of like 57% and the worst sometimes drop to 36%. The gap of 20% is insane. Comparable games already have been declared out of control if the gap passes the 5% mark. But Riot maintains a solid 20% gap. At some point in time they even said "Sorry, we are uncapable of balancing this champion, we are focussing on other stuff." And these are the words of multi-million dollar company, not some hobby-garage start up. it is expected that champion balance will keep decreasing over the time as more and more new champions are introduced.
Problem 4: The issue with "ranked-boosting"
In this game everyone wants to flex with a high rank. Therefore a black market has developed where high level players offer a service of "boosting" an account to a certain ranked rating in exchange for money. This market is flourishing for nearly a decade now. Riot claims to have it under control, but in fact this is a blunt lie. In nearly every ranked games there is at least someone involved who does not deserve to be there or you are facing a booster. Riot's reaction is once again: Nothing.
Problem 5: Smurfs
Many experienced players want the feeling of destroying someone and provoking and flexing. Therefore they create new accounts and play with new or inexperienced or simply players much worse than they normally play with. These ofc gets these players frustrated since they don't even understand what is happening there. Often I have read that new players quit league after one or two games because of their negative experience with smurfs.
Conclusion: Riot games Inc. is a **** company, mostly focussing on milking the customer in every way possible. The actual problems of the game are ignored. Most likely the plan is to ride the dead horse as long as it creates money. There is no future for this game. I strongly recommend not to play this game at all.

The game was once good, then it became ok'ish, and now it is straight up terrible. Riot somehowmissed the point where they had to stop making stupid changes that ruin the fun for everyone. In its current state it is just a competition who is more toxic and not who is the better player.

So apparently there is this thing called "eloboosting" - that is when you pay someone (better) to play ranked games on your account to climb up the ranked ladder.
The problem starts when those people who pay the others resume playing on the level they did not earn by themselves, since they get absolutely obliterated and make the game less fun for everyone.
Apparently League of Legends has a HUUUUUGE issue with eloboosting (literally 2-3 players in every game). But Riot Games does not seem to set their priorities right - since boosted players still buy skins.
Anyway I think I have had my share dealing with those kind of people often enough. I am out for good!

Well what can I say: I wished I never had started this game. Every second is clearly the opposite of fun. Every champ is either useless or overpowered.

There are major issues with this game in its current form. One ist definetly that there are too many champions and Riot lacks the competence to balance them well. Games get very frustrating, because your own performance seems to have little impact on the outcome.
The other problem is definelty player behavior. There is a chat control system, but this is merely the tip of the iceberg and does not necessarily punishes the people who are the real problem.
Report

The thing is: There are plenty of users - most of them toxic. If you are a long time player it might stil be the goto game for you. But never ever I would recommend this game to a new player. This game can be the cause of a serious depression, since it has all the negative aspects that a MOBA comes along including the infamous "hostage taking" where you are kept in a game with peopl you don't like and who are constantly flaming you. While this is true also for other games it is worth mentioning that you find the lowest class of human garbage in league of legend games. Being caged with these kind of people can cause serious health issues since their toxicity can't always be muted. They grief the **** out of you just with "legal methods", which Riot just refuses to adress.
Take my advice: Go somewhere else, you will find only despair here.

The main problem with this game is the company behind it and their priorities. At some point they stopped caring about the game and focussed on generating money only. While they were creating skins and all the other cosmetic **** the game eroded. New champs are pooly designed and poorly balanced and dont fit very well within the older champions. But instead of working on that and the fact that it is merely impossible to balance 160 champions at the same time they just throw new content at it.
By now they surely must have realized that the game is beyond saving so they pull as much money out of it as possible. Someone made the comparison of Riot with **** germany one day. Not very far off... bot in mentality and respect I have for both.

There are many Pro and Cons, the main ones:
Game is fun with friends playing causally. If you play solo prepare to get disappointed/frustrated as there are many trolls/team griefers. Ranked is very competitive and often the playerbase is very toxic and abusive to bad performances. The graphic just got updated so it's pretty nice. Lots of new updates/Champions to keep the game fresh.

This game can get you highly depressed, if you play it solo, and even worse, solo ranked.
if you haven't touched it, well, bless you.
DO NOT EVER TOUCH THIS GAME SOLO (unless you have good friends and only play as a team, really, stay away from this game).
Rated it 2 and not 0 just because the game itself is decent; however, it's far from flawless. Very, very far from it, and considering the amount of players worlwide, it should be the MAIN goal given to the devs. Really far from being achieved.
I rated it 2, cause the game itself is actually decent; but the way it's built made the community toxic. That's the truth: it's the only massively online game based on teamwork which has the most toxic community I've ever seen, and I'm playing for 2 decades now. Which means people are not that toxic; but accumulated frustration made it so. And I have the feeling devs are OK with that, which I can't allow.

Join forces with your closest allies as you unite to defeat your foes in deadly multiplayer battle arenas. League of Legends combines elements from both strategy and role playing games to bring you a unique and dynamic player experience. As a Summoner, you will have your own distinct, customizable avatar that grows in power as you move through the game. In each battle you will select and call forth one of dozens of Champions to control and engage in head-to-head combat against teams of highly trained warriors. Choose your allies wisely, for the stakes are high. In the League, every battle means more than life or death as the balance of power shifts with each victory or defeat.

TLDR: The amount of frustration you receive playing this game can never be outweighed by the positive aspects of the game itself. Protect your family and friends from ever starting this game.
Have been playing this game for the better part of ten years now. I have seen all up and downs so far and my objective conclusion is: The game has passed its zenit long time ago. The community gets worse every season, so is the balance. Competitive games are either infested with smurfs or eloboosted players (eloboosting= letting someone better play on your account in exchange for money to get to a ranked rating, where you do not belong. Eventually ruining the fun for everyone in the game). Riot is just overwhelmed in doing anything against, because they are either too busy to sell overpriced cosmetic stuff or making the game worse by rolling the dice when it comes to champion attributes and skills.
They have system that automatically bans toxic players, but it is so poorly designed that it not necessarily targets the real culprits, who ruin the fun. The game mechanic itself creates tilt all over the place, when it forces you to play alongside players who either systematically sabotage you or flaming the **** out of you, while you are held hostage in a game with players you do not want to play with - think about it.
It has an addictive character, but it rather feels like heroin, you will stop experiencing joy when playin g it, yet you will still always come back to it. If you have the chance: Stay away from this game, I seriously mean it. There are so much better games, which in the end do not let you think that you wasted your entire evening for nothing.
And @Riot Games Inc. : GO **** YOURSELF.

First of all, I don't even bother to play ranked, it simply isn't worth it, it just stresses and not even the skin for Gold elo is worth the stress, IMO.
That said, every time I've entered in the queue I don't know if the next match I will have fun or I'll only get frustated. There are matches that are really funny, when I play Fizz and make a cool play or play Chogath or Quinn and got really fed, it is cool. Also, there are exciting matches that are very balanced and you have to play well to win.
But there are also terrible matches, where you get fu**ed, sometimes the enemy Jungle camps you or the game is just unbalanced and your team is literally r*ped, there are also trolls and anything like that and the fact that you can't quit the game or you will be punished is REALLY frustrating.

The obvious biggest flaw within the game is the community, as mentioned by so many people before me, but that has nothing to do with the game itself, or my score. Riot Games did not create the community of the game, as developers really have no control over that.
The gameplay is well crafted, and with the large pool of Champions to choose from, you have many ways to play the game. Or at least you should.
The biggest flaw on this game within the bound's of Riot's control is the system for unlocking new Champions. gaining the materials needed to unlock a Champion come with each level, but it gets harder to level up over time, as it requires more experience. When choosing a Champion to unlock, you become flustered, knowing it will become harder and harder to get any of the Champions you don't decide to buy when you finally have enough "Blue Essence" to unlock one of your choosing. This makes the game stale after some time, and just plain not enjoyable when you mix this system with the repetitive gameplay. Without the slow moving character unlocking system, this could be a great online game, that players can have fresh experiences with each Champion they unlock.

Been playing this game for years and i have loved nearly every second. A mayor downpour is that the community is bad which is ofc bad for the game, but it is not even close to being as impactful as people say it is. And after all there is a mute button to remove the biggest problem for the game.
The gameplay is amazing when you learn to play, it's so enjoyable to play. It gives you both the opportunity to be a "casual" and a "tryhard". most of these people that review haven't even tried the game in it's fullest. I would personally say another problem is how it's extremely addicting and you really want to improve all the time.

After not playing this game for a number of years I decided to hop back on for the hell of it. I was quickly reminded of why I stopped playing to begin with. Team-based moba's are always going to be a mixed bag, but League just takes that negative and highlights it to its maximum potential. You will never have consistency in level of play unless you're playing with friends, whoever is left actually playing this relic. Beyond that this game has "evolved" to a point that it's almost impossible to get back into. I have no idea who the new characters or what they do and to be honest, I don't think this game is worth the hundreds of hours you would have to pour into it that would be necessary to reach an average skill level. Sure, you can say it offers more than it used to, but I liked it better when the game didn't have a million champs to worry about learning and an ever-changing shop/item system that will take a bit on its own to master. In short, this ain't worth the time and effort (moba's usually aren't)

League of Legends is insanely huge, it's one of the most successful and popular games of all time for good reasons.
It's a fantastic game, very fun to play with a rich lore, phenomenal character design, great music and creative ideas, unfortunately brought down by its own toxic community and development team.
There are so many fascinating gameplay mechanics but the balancing issues are very obvious from a mile away.
And it's worth to mention that the learning curve is pretty high, so a newcomer might not enjoy it very much.
Final Rating: "Amazing" ~ 9/10.

Old review from 2011. 6/10,
This game have a problem, and not just one.
League has great potential, some times when you play you had so much fun, that you don't mind not about lousy crashes at servers, not about huge balances issues in champions design and mode challenge, not about moron(s) with you had to play previously game, not about over priced content that offer this game.
You just play and have fun, true fun. But when you start new game, and all these issues comes back, and you haven't getting fun anymore you wanna stop this for god sake.
Another thing that developers almost every week make some change in balance, that comes in increasing and decreasing champions and items stats, some times changes is good some times it's can make your favorite champion just useless. All league players know such pains in ass who fall down so much that become just not a "good" choice to play at all.
One more thing is community, is not growth enough, and i mean not only by the age in my point of view, too many rage, crying, and morons you meet, some times not. I know that in almost every online game, but still.
So game is worth a 10 from 10 point, but the issues of the League keep me from that score.
Review from 2021. 9/10.
After 10 years of playing from time to time and with recent release of Arcane, i just must change rating from 6 to 9. Why 9 you ask me? Because they show that there is always way to to improve.
This is the game which you come back from time to time and have fun.

Then another player in that game mistook me for saying the bad words and decided that if he saw me in real life, he would murder me. while the other half of my team had everyone muted and we're trying to tell me to mute them. I've also found sexist and racist players on this game. It's baffling how toxic most of the community is.

I played this game for 10 years (since season 2) and here is what I have to say about it
The owner company doesn't really care about the game being fun. They remove every fun mode, remove fun items, they removed fun maps like the 3vs3 map. The community is literally THE WORST community there is in any video game ever and Riot (the owner company) doesn't ban players enough (or not at all some times). The only way to get banned is by using bad language in the chat, you can troll for MANY games before getting caught. LoL over the years got many new champions with very complicated kits and reworked many fun to play champions into boring mediocre champions with no unique abilities. There are very few modes in League of Legends, two to be exact. ARAM which is five random picked champions which are not random at all actually. I've bought like 15 champions and ARAM ALWAYS gives me the free rotation champions and the same 2 champions I own. The most played and also most boring map is summoners rift which is a complete map in contrast to ARAM which is just one lane. Playing ranked games in League of Legends is the worst thing you can do for yourself. They are filled with angry players, troll, ragequiters and there is nothing really to gain buy getting high rank, maybe a specific champion skin in the end of the season and that's it. The game client is very buggy after all these years for some reason and RIOT doesn't really want to fix it. Despite all those negative stuff these game is very addictive especially in the early levels but it is also very frustrating. It is the only game I've ever played which half of time playing it you get frustrated and feel like you've earned nothing. It is never a "good day" when you lose a game in League of Legends and you want to play more in order to win and feel a bit better. Seriously you can't stop playing for the day on a loss, it feels really bad. Honestly, the development team has done a really good job in some aspects of the game but neglected the most important aspects of it! This game probably deserves a 4/10 score but I choose to give it a 0/10 because it is a really terrible game to spent your time on and I want to discourage everyone reading this review from playing it. LoL is very addictive and usually not fun. Even if you are playing with friends (which is definitely the best way to play) LoL is not fun 5/10 times.
Do not start League of Legends for your own good!

League of Legends is one of those games you literally hate but love at the same time. Many champions to play, ways to play, strategies and tactics. I would call LoL more of a strategic game than a combat game. LoL is one of the best games to play with friends. Community is the dark side of LoL, extremely toxic people who take it way too seriously. Acidentally stole a kill? Gets called many slurs. Escaped from a definitely lost fight? Gets called coward and ruined the fight. Going to help mid laner as a support? Doomed your ADC to death. So if you want to play LoL be prepare for some toxicity.

No voice chat in a multiplayer game that requires teamwork. Their reasoning behind this decision is that they believe if people can talk to one another toxicity will increase. This doesn't seem to be the case, since compared to other games I've played; such as Overwatch, Apex Legends and Valorant, League has one of the most toxic communities. There are simple functions which can be added to address their concerns. An option to mute players and an option to not join VC either by default or when in game.
The reason behind not adding VC is more likely due to incompetence or laziness, which is reflected in their client design and optimisation, server instability and lack of a proper banning system.
The game is also designed to be more addicting than it is made to be an enjoyable experience. The sound effects of last hitting minions and getting a hefty shutdown reminds me of a slot machine at a casino and the match making and elo systems seems to try to keep you entrapped in your current elo. It is possible to rise in ranks, but promos just delays the process unnecessarily. Winning three out of five games seems reasonable since that is a win-rate over 50 percent, but that means within that window of five games you need to be lucky enough to either have two teams that are even in skill or your team having the advantage. If the matchmaking was better perhaps promos could be justified, but getting even teams seems to be a rare occurrence. Most of the time win percentages differ greatly e.g. my last 10 games had an average of 20% win rate disparity.
Addicting game that makes you want to come back, but not enjoyable most of the time and leaves you unsatisfied.

Tesis el final de quienverso
acto numero 1 y wea
quien verso es un manga que fue dibujado por el mangaka famosamente conocido por sus obras como tiesoverso, chainsaw man , tokyo revengers y vagabond
quienverso se basa en la vida cotidiana de nicholas joseph gallardo matus que estudiaba en el colegio humberto vilches hasta que llego un compañero nuevo a su curso.
llamado ernesto rodrigez federico matus y asi fue como se hizo el grupo de amigos que cambiaron la vida de muchas personas incluyendo demandas peleas doxxeos y weas mas
acto numero 2 y wea
ahora voy a explicar la demografia y porque los cambios de demografia que se han ido dando mediante el transcurso de los capitulos primero empezo como un shonen slice of life escolar
pero en ciertas situaciones del manga se podria decir que hubo un cambio de demografia abrupto entre capitulos como la vez que unos de los integrantes peliaron a muerte en el patio del colegio por el amor de una chica.
pero vayamos al grano que son los personajes tan humanos que trata la trama el mangaka supo plasmar en el papel el crecimiento humano de un adolecente normal chileno de clase media baja
todos sus personajes tienen desarrollos tan complejos que solo pocos mangakas han podido saber retratar.
los personajes principales tienen sus propios arcos personales que se ven reflejados en como se tratan entre ellos y tambien otro aspecto bastante reconocible a sido la comedia que se trata en el manga que es muy excepcional y podria sacarle una risa a mas de uno
acto numero 3 y wea
pero ahora vayamos al grano que es en si el final de quienverso parte 1 que el mangaka ya a confirmado que habra parte 2
el final de quienverso es un final espectacular se a visto todo el desarrollo de personaje y lo han hecho ver en unos de los plot twist mas grandes de todos los tiempos revelando a apio como el verdadero traidor del grupo y que causo muchos de los conflictos dados en el manga
un final que aclaro muchas preguntas pero tambien dejo muchas preguntas por resolver por ejemplo si ernesto revivira o si las teorias de redvevo serian veridicas en conclusion
quienverso es una obra maestra de magnitudes colosales no creo que ningun manga que a sido publicado en la historia pueda superar al trabajo de nicholas joseph gallardo matus una historia grandiosa, personajes extrañables y muy bien desarrollados, entornos bien cuidados y dados para la situacion
tambien hay drama de por medio y la comedia no se queda atras por lo tanto quienverso parte 1 es definitivamente el mejor manga del siglo superando a obras como berserk o steel ball run.

The community is toxic. The matchmaking is extremely broken, as you can easily get in games with level 300 players as a level 15. The game is completely unbalanced end the 5 bans per team wouldn't even be enough if everyone banned op characters. The game has it's moments but these happen 1/100. Wouldn't recommend if you want fun for longer times. If you just want to play the tutorial it's great.

Honestly the game is really unbalanced, the newest champ literally have items built into their kits, Riot games doesn't give a **** about user experience or even what they think is fair, the pro's have more impact over the company than anyone else, and if they don't like you they will just call up their Riot friend to ban you. The community is soo toxic I haven't gone a single day without hearing the words "Kill yourself, ****" you can have only the enemy nexus left (last tower to destroy) lose 1 fight and you lose the game even though you are 12k gold ahead and have mega minions and dragon soul ! It is impossible to climb the ranks, you can't play the champs that you like cause the meta says otherwise, if you don't play what's meta you are trolling, or its a given loss.
I will pray every night that Riot Games' servers burn down ! The game turned me into a ****ing monster, becoming toxic to friends and family, it turned me away from my religion so many times.

Riot doesn't care about its game. Every new champs are poorly balanced, way to overpowered and the whole meta inclines to the hyper fast damage. Making everything but tanks and assassin completely useful. Forcing you to play only the newest overpowered champs. So if you like mages, or you practiced an old champ. Well you will be always in disadvantage. Now everything that its on the game most have hyper mobility with hyper damage or its useless. And all the new champs abilities are automatic, no need to aim, or improve. So no matter if you practice an try to improve in the game. Since it needs 0 skill to catch and you can't dodge. If you are for example a slow/mage champ, you are dead and can't do anything about it. So yeah this game **** because if forces you to play only the overpowered champs, which are basically like 20. The rest are weird to see, since well they are completely useless.

The Game is buggy at best with some standing for years now, the community is toxic and combined with their idiotic ban systems there isn't much choice besides disabling chat which is somewhat funny whyd they bother to have one in the first place. if you think about typing anything that would even remotely critisice either their mummy puppet company out of communist china or some feminist tumblr user youre banned and youre honor level is busted. the gameplay is clunky for the most part and their mission to implement new champions that are so insanely broken gets even toped by their great ideas for champion reworks, which are so powerful afterwards that patch after patch youll lose every bit of motivation to even waste storage space on this game e.g. mundo rework. the graphics are decent but theyre mostly on a level of a mobile game and not a pc game which in 2021 is just a clown show. their customer support is a mostly bot answering non sense which doesnt help you at anything and should you get the chance to have a human answer its aswell as a bot since they copy paste some pre written script answers which in short are something along the line of were not sorry for anything and we dont give a damn about you and we wont do anything about any of your problems so either google it or make a new account should i be something account related. overall the game is basically done for and at a stage where its trying to beat out wow on whos faster going to die as a game which is difficult considering wow and blizzard do have some sort of a head start at it, but leagues going there aswell

There is a lot of reviews coming from people who are bashing this game because it is too complicated or they are playing another game from MOBA genre, like DOTA (2) or (dying) HoN. League of Legends is a solid production, still being polished by Riot Games and it looks gorgeous for its low hardware requirements. In my humble opinion, this game would be the greatest on-line experience ever if it had better community.
EDIT: I wrote this review in 2013 and I was hoping for Riot to fix some issues... they plague the game to this day. Aforementioned community is a dumpster fire, balance is a metronome. When the best thing that they manage to do are the cosmetics you know that it is time to go.

Long time ago you could get champions by just playing the game. You could buy a champion every week. Now this game has become strong Pay2Win. You get blue essence earlier IP only when you lvl up and get the lvl up boxes etc. I've been playing for weeks and couldn't buy me not even one champion since blue essence is so rare and hard to get. Same goes for events. You have to purchase an battle pass to get all event rewards. Sadly but this game has become Pay2Win. Also you can't play a game without having flamer in your or enemy team. EVERY game. It's like 99% of the player base are children who can not play the game without flame their team. Riot please remove tanks out of the game. This class is totally useless sinse there are so many ways to easily kill tanks. I hardly ever seen a tank being so useless like in this game. Also I play only ARAM because people can not stop babysitting in normal games. The sad thing is that there are like 1 million champions but you can play only like 20 of them in Aram. Why we can not just play all of the we own Riot? Sometimes I get killed by invisible projectiles. How is that even a thing? I walk behind the tower and BAM am dead. Also the lag... the lag is real in this 12 year old game.

Game is average. 'Roles' are awful - would rather just play than have people shout for being 'top' or 'bot' or 'jungle' or whatever. If you are 'jungle' it really isn't possible - If 2 guys are on one lane and ranking up together it's okay, but you get a load of silly little nerds who ping ping ping ping if you are in their lane.. Even though it's literally impossible to rank up without being in a lane until like level 10 or something. I paid this game 10 dollars but I wish I hadn't.

This game is TERRIBLE, especially if you gonna play for rank. I constantly get paired with people who go 0/10 and afk, in RANKED matches. And guess what? Those who ruin games dont get bans, even if they cant counterbuild and make terrible picks which have no real impact on late game. BUT, IF U WILL TELL SOMEBODY THAT HE IS **** FEEDER, chances of getting ban are really high.

It's been many years since I first ventured out to try one of the most popular mutliplayer game titles - League of Legends. LOL has left me with a dozen memories, as I've spent hundreds of hours there. Unfortunately, that was back when the game still contained a max level of 30. It wasn't until later that they added the ability to level up, and that was back when I wasn't playing, but that's beside the point. Back to LOL itself. The game caught my eye right off the bat. The simple graphics here just appealed to me, and the game is ultimately a lot clearer than Dota, which I only played for a few hours and was absolutely lost. But here, after a while, you pick up what and how and that makes the game more accessible to more people. It didn't take long for me to tell my friends about LOLku back in I think it was 2015, and they subsequently downloaded the game and we started playing together regularly. The rules of the game are pretty clear. Two teams of five players and both teams have an inhibitor they have to protect and they have to destroy the other team's inhibitor, only to get to it they have to go through towers that start giving you damage and so you die after a while. So the only way to get to the enemy inhibitor is to destroy these towers and this will make the game longer and in the end one game will take around 30-50 minutes. You can still kill the dragon, which will give your team advantages. To top it all off, you still earn goals during gameplay. For killing enemies, for destroying enemy towers and so on. You can then buy items with the coins, which give you upgrades in the form of damage, HP and so on. The player gets into it pretty quickly, and the biggest obstacle is perhaps just the lack of knowledge of the characters' abilities. Once you get into it, however, you're in for hundreds of hours of fun doing the same thing over and over again, but for each match you get a Blue Essence (still an IP then, but now it's Blue Essence) and you can then unlock more champions with that currency. On top of that, you also level up, so the game doesn't lack a sense of progression. There are also skins or the ability to unlock a champion right away for real money, but so some of those microtransactions are already expected in a F2P title and personally I think League of Legends is not a pay-to-win game. On top of that as I mentioned the game is free, which is fine. Overall for me it is a good game and if you don't know what to play with your friends, League of Legends is such an obvious choice. Just beware of the community, which is perhaps the most toxic I've ever experienced. I've never seen so much swearing and I slept with your mom type stuff.

Worst community ever. Worst developer ever. The matchmaking system for this game is so broken. If you get unlucky to get matched with new player or match with trolls for a few games in a row, the system the put you with other players who are just as bad because they think you have lost the game so you aren't skilled. You point this out to the support staff and the ether call you a liar or ignore the feedback. The devs for this game are just as bad they have know idea on how to balance the system or balance the champs there is so many champs that are over powered and these champs just get ignore. The devs also aren't interested in making the game fair and fun they just make changes that sound cool and exciting but are horrible to lane against. Riot Games are only interested in making as much money as possible and aren't interested with the part of the community that want game to be fair and fun to play. They want people to spend £10 plus on one skin for a champ yet they can just rework the champs at anytime. That means you could be stuck with skins for champs that you no longer enjoy playing as they don't take feedback on any changes that get made to the game. They have a test server that the community can make an account on but its not for getting feedback on change or new champs that they make. Its only there to make sure there no bugs. Riot Games aren't interested in the player that play there game.

putting aside the bad community and unbalanced game issue, the ranking system in LOL is a joke. This is due to the MMR nonsense and the forced LP loss on dodging Riot implement which heavily affects how well you climb. For everytime you win or go on a win streak, you win end up getting losses and lose streak because the next 1/3 of the time you get smurfs that stomp roll, the other 1/3 you get clueless otps/offrole players that dont have a clue what they are supposed to do, and the other 1/3 you get trolls that purposely feeds the enemy and then they may go AFK after screwing your game because they were just having fun, at your expense of course.
And then after you dodge a game because you get into a such a team using addons like porofessor, you are forced to play another game with this same type of players because you will incur penalty for dodging games. So "Have fun" spending time with the OTP ezreal in midlane up against zedman 0/5 by the 10th min and refuse to surrender, wasting another 30 mins of your time, because "dodging is Bad and will cause MMR inflation", and guess what? you will still lose lp not due to any fault of your own. Even card games takes less RNG then this joke ****. The only way i can see you climbing a realistically losing matchup is by 2v5 the entire enemy team that was fed with their team having 1 or 2 smurfs, possible? yea, Nearly impossible? definitely. And you lose 18 lp but gain 9 lp, i guess riot 200 years experience makes you think you have a machine as a brain that can function in perfect mode all the time, HAHAHAHAHA
Oh and this game is a heavily disguised pay to win. After playing for more then a year i only unlock half of the champs pool in this game. To get more champs you either invest insane amount of time or spend $$ on passes, and the forums are filled with fanbois that downvote anything negative to our chinese emperors, but i will give it 2 stars because it does not hide the fact that it is a chinese company, unlike a certain big gaming company in the west LOL LOL.

I've been playing this game since open beta, so I have a ton of experience of all the changes the game has went through.
First of, if you are ONLY looking at the visual side of things, holy crap, the game has improved a lot. It was pretty ugly and all the models were very low polygon count. Nowadays it's far greater graphically, map is super nice, spells look super flashy and well created.
But the gameplay has taken... ummm... a slight downturn. I never understood the necessity of bushes but I let that go since you were always able to put a ward down.
Nowadays every single lane has like 3 bushes, so there's never enough actual vision you can achieve to protect yourself from ganks. In old days when you got ahead or got ganked, you purchased 75g ward and were relatively safe. Now you buy pink ward and you're burning that ward out with saving maybe a second or two from an individual gank. Ward gets taken down and you can't do anything.
Now if you have AFK teammember, you no longer are able to go to soak lane or go to jungle, in case something went wrong in champion select. You're FORCED into a role and the system has been tweaked so hard to not allow any variety. I cleared red, blue and frog with Graves without smite and I was still level 1.
Also there's a lot of champions that got weaker over time for no good reason. Talon used to be amazing assassin who could delete opponent. Now he's much slower to gank and his burst does far more damage than a single Leblanc Q+W. Maybe he's gotten little safer to escape after ganks but I liked the old kit where he was able to 1v5 when fed.
Xerath used to have a cool unique technique that was fully counterable by strong initiate, that got taken away while he still retains the strong burst and range. I miss the old Galio who could play as support. Now you're pretty much forced mid because you can't survive 2v2 without very specific set of runes and having ultra aware ADC, enemy who over extends etc. There's just so many champions that can do better than him.
This game needs to go back to its roots (mechanically) and take some steps to make each champion to have an unique Strength rather than having every new champion overloaded with 10 different mechanics.
I mean it's cool to play them, but you're pretty much forced to one trick champion nowadays if you attempt to do any climbing, and playing one champion is ULTRA boring. I miss the time I could just pick something wacky like Sion support and just spam stun and shield explosion, use money to buy wards and roam. A place where we could experiment new things. Now you're pretty much forced to babysit ADC because all your money generation items require having a teammate next to you.
I think the community took huge dump downward in season 3 and forward and nowadays you cannot go a single game without someone getting blamed for trolling or intentionally feeding or just asking to report for no reason.
I still play it because I like the game, but I feel it has now far less skill expression due to how much less vision you're able to give to your team if you're not support, or if you're support, how little you're allowed to roam, how easy it's to die when behind.
Oh I almost forgot the extremely high snowball due to how much damage s10 and s11 have wrought with first the rune rework (everyone was complaining the damage was too high) and now s11 where the main core items get given in full strength, easily doing an additional 200 damage boost from abilities, or/and leaping character forward.
I guess the items could be good buy there already was summoners which were supposed to be these ultimate rescue items. Now you got Jhin with Heal who speeds up, flash, slow due to trap and 2nd leap with item, and you literally cannot catch this immobile champ anymore, and it's supposed to be its weakness.
Baron buff is way too strong now and dragons give permanent buffs that are impossible to be gained. Rift Herald was cool at first but should have been severely nerfed. Jeesus, if you have some champs with ability to kill towers fast on a solo lane, and you get killed by ganks, you might lose all towers and even the first tower in core. It's just too much.

this game is feces. you will do yourself the biggest disservice by investing time in it. the matchmaking is geared towards making you lose. you gain less lp when you win than when you lose LP. people are very likely to grief rather than play their best. this game will have a few good moments but will be 90% awful miserable test of patience. you will find out for your self if you choose to take it on. I AM PRAYING THIS GAME DIES, or at least goes the same way HOTS did. it doesn't deserve the attention it gets. NORTH AMERICA does awful in the pro scene. nothing worth enjoying, unless you play with a team full of your friends, in which case go find a more friendly game that is worth playing solo until your friends join you. this game should get a negative rating not a 0.

I have been playing this game since my childhood so it's very dear to me. So sad to see what this game has become. Here are my thoughts:
1. For new players i strongly recommend to play this game. It was very fun to see yourself learning the game and improving each day. And after some time, you will hit lvl30 and unlock "ranked game mode".
2. DO NOT PLAY RANKED ! Ranked games are rigged ! The game will on purpose give you bad teammates if your win rate is high and bad enemy if it's low. So losing will make you feel angry and want to play more. On the other hand, winning won't make you feel satisfied since you didn't actually beat good players.
3. Updates in this game happens quite often ( usually buffs of nerfs to some champions ). But they still always leave some champions stronger than others, making them get picked more often. And it's actually really stupid how unbalanced those champions are.
But in the end of the day, this game is very fun if you have no idea what is happening xD

Роумы удалены благодаря щиткам которые дают пассивный голд тем кто отыгрывал хуже и не может роумить, в итоге камбекая им, так как голда с роумов не компенсирует даже 2 щитка.
Распределение опыта крайне неадекватное. Удалена механика увеличивающая количество опыта из отставания от среднего лвла, таким образом в ситуации когда к вам приходят три человека и стомпят ваш фарм стоя на линии и поукая вас под тавер заставляя бекнуть нет компенсации и это приводит к доминации так как потерянный пак опыта для вас уже никак нельзя компенсировать. Разумеется ни о каком личном влиянии на ситуацию здесь говорить нельзя.
Описания скилов каждого нового чемпиона больно читать, ведь ты понимаешь что на этот раз получилось еще более неадекватно чем все до этого. Это подходит для пве игр, а не для пвп в котором ты крайне вероятно будешь часто этим скилам пытаться противостоять.
Большая часть игры выигрывается в лобби, не забанил-не пикнул - наиболее вероятно проиграл.
Так же вероятность твоего личного успеха крайне рандомна и зависит не столько от твоих навыков сколько от скомпонованности вражеской команды. Ведь системы наказаний для игроков тратящих время без весомого профита здесь просто нет. Джанглер может спокойно простоять на твоем варде до его спадания, после выйти, выгнать тебя с лайна и при этом практически не потеряет в опыте, как ровно и любой другой лейнер. Это по сути один из основных недостатков калечащих пвп в этой игре, так как цена чужой ошибки нулевая.
Вы будете видеть людей которые с радостью проиграют вам ранкед по абсолютно тупым поводам. Крайне редко срабатывают репорты по абсолютно любому пункту. Когда-то я состоял в гильдии с человеком который пошел интить игру своей же гильдии, писал в чат о том что нажимает райтклик на вражеский тавер и играет в мобилку, после 4 репортов от нашей гильдии на следующий же день я снова встретил его в игре.
Да, скины в этой игре прекрасны и это единственная причина по которой эта игра все еще жива. Люди донатят на приятную часть контента продолжая играть (или нет, главное ведь что уже оплатили) в этот шлак.
Популярность стримов обуславливается тем что игроки получают бонусы в игре вися на стриме афк.
Красочные ролики с песнями о том как вы будете подниматься к вершине и мотивирующие вас вступать в соревнование это прекрасный неотразимый маркетинговый ход, но к самой игре это не имеет никакого отношения, обычная реклама.
Вы можете проводить в ней море времени и выехать в высокое эло просто случайно, но негатив испытанный в процессе того полностью не стоит, у эло больше нет ценности.

This is the game of the decade and has potencial to keep up the success. As a pvp free-to-play game, the only thing that matters for the players to improve in the game is to get deep knowledge of the mechanics and macro play. No lootboxes that give you any advantage against other players, just cosmetics loot boxes that are easily obtained for free as long as you play the game. Great investment of Riot Games in Tournaments which keep the game alive and entertain the public. This game is a slap on the face of P2W based games of how to succeed as a game's company.

i wouldn’t suggest to play this game if u don’t have patience or tolerance to hi level players. This game is pushing you out in early stage. what i am saying is that You just get killed constantly until you start feeling terrible and if u leave u get punished.. So you have no way out for 15 or more minutes because surrendering isn’t working if one of 5 is saying no (so far met only No's )
Some champions deal way too much damage what i mean is that they take a kill in 2 hits and some of them need more than 10 hits to kill non armoured champion when u being full damage is not enough, maybe it is because there is one level difference that makes enemy so much heavier but still makes no sense when you are 3/0/2-14 lvl and u get killed by 6/7/3-13 lvl just because he is hitting 1200 in two hits (when you full health is 1200-1300 ) and with one damage item plus one armour item and you with 2 full damage items that Riot him self is offering against that champion to build can kill him with 10 hits..
Game has no engine that separates old experienced players from new ones. So you start as a new player and by trying to find out how to play atm other players already know well your every step. Off course u simply get farmed for full 30 minutes and just because one guy from your team says no to surrendering u have to sit it out with only bad experience. So all those 30 minutes you literally have nothing to do but walk around in fear to be killed again and bare all those flames from your team and in the end of the game just get reported and again receive punishment from riot. After that you get hard stuck in between other bad, punished gamers as a siting duck versus enemy team that is playing way better. You can clearly see how bad this mach making mechanism is working, because you get constantly enemies with higher levels or higher mmr that is putting u behind in mmr just because you had bad start with 1st games by getting reported. Going Ranked is not tie games it is always ranked for one side and mostly not for u.. So if u are not ready to try super hard don’t even try going ranked because you will end up playing versus enemy team that is feed and maybe, maybe if you are lucky you will have one in ur team that is getting some kills before they start ganking together that one guy.

Please stay as fat away from this as possible, it is possibly on the of the most rage inducing games out there, if not the most.
The characters, lore, graphics are ok, but those factors can't single handedly save such a mess.
The design team has absolutely no idea what they are doing, they just make changes every patch hoping that something works.
On top of it the game is full of toxic people.
If you value your time DO NOT even think about playing this.

This game's only saving grace is that it is free to play. Besides that there is nothing positive to say about this game. Riot does nothing about the toxicity of it's player base. Over half your games will have someone who will verbally abuse you, will intentionally feed or is just downright terrible at their a champion but play it in ranked anyway. If you want to climb in ranked chances are one of your lanes if not more than one will feed and you will automatically loose because there is no coming back. Riot cares about one thing and that is putting money in their pocket by having as large a player base as possible instead of making it fun for everyone. There is a reason people keep leaving. Maybe if Riot spent less time coming out with 5 different games and worked on the ones they already have developed they could do something about the horrible quality of the game.
Do yourself a favor and play something else.

Great concept really fun in early years of release. It's just a shame that League is a shell **** it once was. Due to popularity Riots business model changed early on and the game today focuses heavily on micro-transactions rather than general balance or improving the state of game. On top of this, League is has by far the most toxic player base ive ever come across(and ive played video games for over 2 decades). As well as this they have never sorted out how to deal with these toxic players but they still don't have a reliable ban/report system and its been 11 years! Im not saying that League is a bad game I just would'nt recommend it to anybody, ever! Unfortunetly in todays world League is just another classic example of devs caring more about lining their own pockets than improving the quality of the game (and in Riots case they've been ripping people off for years).

When you first start playing it's not addictive at all, but you keep playing for your friends and you start to get into the game. It's ok if you play a little and then quit or when you use it to talk on discord, but only that. The community **** and I don't see any captivating story in the game. What is interesting are the tournaments, little else. I wouldn't play anymore.

I'm a league veteran with somewhere roughly around 9 years experience - and after all the great times and great friends i've made over the years i have to say - I absolutely f*cking hate this game and everything it stands for.
Sure, i've met some fun people in the past, but i've also met some of the most addicted, deranged and toxic people ON THE PLANET in this miserable excuse for entertainment.
Isn't the whole point of games supposed to be, FUN? Well League isn't fun unless you're winning, and you don't always win, and you better believe more often then not you'll get blamed for it.
I love the character designs, i love the lore, i love my main champs (Teemo, Tristana, Annie, Kayn) and the gameplay isn't TERRIBLE -but the COMMUNITY and MANAGEMENT are HORRENDOUS.
Microtransactions are GARBAGE, Community support is GARBAGE, Balancing is GARBAGE, Premades ruin most solo-queue games and abuse of the report system is COMMON.
RIOT DOES NOTHING. (UNLESS IT INVOLVES GETTING YOUR MONEY.)
This game is like an abusive relationship, you try to make it work but it just treats you like garbage - and you keep coming back for more because you don't know when to quit.
And to make matters WORSE, i met my ex-girlfriend in League, I flew across the country and we lived together for THREE YEARS only for her to dump me and leave me to die out in the desert without any remorse because she has severe emotional issues.

Worst community ehis game is pretty fun when you start playing. However, after a handful of games faulty game mechanics begin to surface making more and more games very one-sided. The matchmaking system is based on a so called 'ELO-rating' which should be an indicator of 'how good you are'. However, this system is only based on games won and games lost. I can safely say that 15 out of 20 games are… Expandver.

This review is in SPA. Use a translator if you're ENG since I'll give a parodical but true perspective.
Si valoras poco tu vida, bienvenido a la liga de los Chimpancés, un pozo infernal que te hará desear no haber nacido.
Como virtud puedo decir que si eres un estudioso en Psicología o un Biólogo de Monos felicidades, pues acabas de llegar a una mina de conocimientos donde cagarte de risa sobre lo bajo que puede caer un ser humano. Además, si pretendes hacer un juego de beber ante algo cringe, te pillarás una mierda bastante seria. Vamos por partes... de antemano decir que si eres lamebotas de Rito pilla ansiolíticos antes de leer esto.
- Comunidad resumida: una pandilla de huevones que o siguen perdiendo tiempo en esta mierda o son de elo alto y por tanto seguiran perdiendo el tiempo porque es lo único que hace parecer que tienen 9999 centímetros de pene. Ellos saben mejor que tú, sucio platita (es lo que te dirán) que el juego está desbalanceado con el culo (140+ campeones, 40+ desbalanceados, 20+/- siempre en las partidas y gracias -y no estamos hablando de los items-) y aún así te fastidiarán con que no hay problema que es por tu culpa. Desbalance perfecto lo llaman, anda a cagar, no es interesante, es ver cómo el personaje tonto revienta el teclado y el otro se muere porque no tomó la elección obvia debido a la ética de querer usar su cerebro para ganar. No como que ellos y Riot se ríen en tu cara de tonto por no comprender que la manera de ganar es no jugar. Es divertido ver cómo la droga hace su efecto. Riot Games son genios, 10 años exprimiendo chimpancés y contando más, saben que no quieren videojuegos de verdad sino una forma de sacarse la polla ante los demás y restregársela por la cara. Todos tienen algo en común ya sean los tontos de elo alto o bajo: nunca aceptarán un error y siempre insultarán, da igual que seas un santo. Eso me lleva al siguiente punto.
- ¿En un juego de ""equipo"" es mejor usar mute all y solo comunicarse con pings? ¿El chat entonces... está sólo para que la gente se insulte y pierda el tiempo en lugar de centrarse en la partida? Lo dicho un biólogo de monos o un estudioso de la psicología humana se lo pasaría bien haciendo experimentos sociales y asistiendo al festival de ver cómo lo peor que te puedas imaginar se mata entre ellos. Normalmente suelen ser gente que lleva personajes edgy cuya unidimensionalidad asusta (Zed/Yasuo/Yone/Riven/Vayne...). Son perfectos y todos fallan menos ellos. He perdido un año en esta basura, y escribo esto para que más de uno se salve a ser posible, pues ese año jamás lo recuperaré, afortunadamente no gasté ni un centavo.
- Los de Rito viven a base de skins para distraer al populacho de los extremos desbalances y el pobre matchmaking. Si funciona, por qué no hacerlo.
- Roban ideas de otras propiedades intelectuales, y son personajes como tal no solo skins de referencia (Veigar = Vivi -Final Fantasy IX-), (Leona = Gwynevere -Dark Souls-), (Diana = Priscilla - Dark Souls-), (Zed = Shredder -Tortugas Ninja-), (Nautilus = Big Daddy, Bioshock) y un etc que agotaría los caracteres de este artículo, los abogados tienen que ser Jesucristo para que no les haya caído la del tigre con las demandas por plagio descarado y sinvergüenza. La gente pica porque no sabe ni quiere saber de videojuegos, por eso soltará sin ponerse a ver que, efectivamente es un PLAGIO. Si tú haces esto en una carrera universitaria no veas la que te cae. Son ladrones impunes.
- El matchmaking es impagable, ganas algunas partidas pero luego el elo de tus oponentes se incrementa a la par que el de tu equipo se reduce para "mantenerte al 50%" por la fuerza. ¿En serio esta idea deja a la gente en su elo? ¿No sería más acertado decir que los jugadores que intentan hacer algo acaban castigados por los incompetentes como manera vergonzante de hacer que caigas más en la droga por la frustración? Oops.
Una mierda mediocre y pestilente sobreglorificada por la masa que ni sabe, ni quiere saber ni jamás sabrá sobre videojuegos, una moda que por desgracia durará algunos años más, un juego cutre chinoso & plasticoso digno de celular que no califica a día de hoy como algo serio, es el fútbol de los videojuegos con eso se dice todo. Goty indiscutible de todos los años. GG Rito, pruebas una y otra vez el nivel del Ser Humano. Los tienes en tus garras.

The game was for the longest time the best moba I have ever played in my life. However, since then, the community has grown and has become increasingly toxic, Riot Games does not seem to care about this type of case and ignores game lovers. Aesthetically speaking, the game stopped in 2014 with visual rework and did not change its fonts anymore, making it necessary to reformulate the engine for better results. The modes are the same and repetitive, maps have been excluded and none compared to the level of fun has been placed, making the game even sadder, the review will not be rated 0 out of consideration for what League of Legends has already given me. I'm not even going to talk about balancing, which, please, is a joke.

A great game gone garbage. I don’t know what they’ve don’t with their match making system but odds are literally stacked against you. When I play Games the enemy team will literally have a Master, Diamond or Plat. Meanwhile my team is my level which is Gold. Sometimes I get iron and bronze on my team. For the past 100 games I’ve playing in the last week I’ve look at the enemy team and it’s literally stacked against me. When you lose 4-5 games for every win the game becomes not fun anymore. Nexus Blitz used to be a fun mode but that has gone awful too. In the past 10 games I played the enemy team would get the event on their side even though we were the losing. Then you go to sudden death hoping you’d get a shield. Nope. Enemy team who’s already winning gets a perma shield making it impossible for a comeback in in previous versions. Then you have all the toxic players. Most toxic community I’ve ever seen. Players who AFK and use all kinds of derogatory terms. Riots punishment system isn’t strict enough. Go spend your time on another game.

Йшов 2021 рік, гру визнали здається найкращою 2020 року, а от української локалізації не підвезли. Я не знайшов жодної можливості зв'язатись із розробниками по цьому питанні так як технічна підтримка не знає відповіді на це запитання, а на іноземній мові важко зрозуміти що та як. Токсична спільнота, саме найбільше це в РУ спільноті (сама технічна підтримка визнала те, що люди з їх серверів тікають), в Східній Європі менше, рекомендували мені грати на Західній Європі, так як там більш лояльніші гравці. В не рейтингових іграх можна зустріти гравців з високим рівнем профілю, що в результаті відбувається дисбаланс матчу і негативна критика в сторону молодих гравців яким уже не достатньо грати проти ботів, але і проти ПВП відпадає бажання, так як завзяті гравці які розібрались в грі токсично відносяться до молодих гравців.

It was 2021, the game was considered the best in 2020, but the Ukrainian localization was not brought. I did not find any opportunity to contact the developers on this issue as technical support does not know the answer to this question, and in a foreign language it is difficult to understand what and how. Toxic community, most of all in the RU community (the technical support itself recognized that people run away from their servers), in Eastern Europe less, recommended me to play in Western Europe, as there are more loyal players. In non-ranked games you can meet players with a high level of profile, which results in an imbalance of the match and negative criticism of young players who are no longer enough to play against bots, but also against PVP, as there is no desire for zealous players who understand the game. to young players.

I don't think that this game even deserves my full review, so i will treat it the same way its devs have been treating the community:
- 0 responsiveness to players requests
- removing popular game modes which people love like urf or one for all
- few totally unbalanced champions liek yasuo, yone, while simultaneously nerfing other champs
- broken client, sometimes if you disconnect you have to close the app and log in again
-making game **** changes out of the blue

I played this game for 5 years, but I stopped playing it a few months ago because this game is now complete garbage. Not just me, but the entire community is feeling stressed when they play it, by a lot of factors.
1- The game is extremely unbalanced: the damage has increased dramatically in recent years, and a small mistake means you die and probably lose the game. Newly launched champions are ridiculously strong and have a lot of mobility, making old or low-mobility champions useless and outdated.
2- Toxic community: literally all matches will have someone trolling, afk or offending the team. And even reporting, they are not punished. If there is one people on your team trolling or AFK, you will ALWAYS lose and feel stressed.
3- Horrible client: even with the best computer in the world and the lowest settings enabled, your client will be lagging and full of bugs.
4- The company always remains silent about the problems of the game and does nothing to change.

Everything was fine. Yes, there were problems with the client, and small bugs, but then the 10.23 update came which broke everything. The whole balance went to hell. The client does not work normally, there are too many bugs in the game itself. And that's all after exiting the test server.
Also dubious champions have come out lately. Copy the mechanics and abilities of those already released. They bring nothing new to the game. As a result, the game becomes boring and unplayable.
Conclusion: it was better before.

The game is good, I have been playing for 7 years, but what is hurting is the toxic community, because compared to the other games it is very high, the chat with the other teams makes it a “fight” at each game, another tedious The factor it is the balance of characters in which the youngest are overly strong close to the older.
Report
PC
It is a fun and stressful game. You need to love the old 2D game graphics and have the patience to play with certain toxic people. But make friendships that can last a lifetime, use the chat system and form your own team so you avoid playing with ignorant people who are one of the most common things in LoL.
In the beginning, losing is normal, even I lost about 10 before my first victory, but don't give up because when you learn to play it becomes very fun.
You will encounter several bug problems, which is normal as no game is perfect. Many champions are fun to play and have a wide range of skills and style. However, Riot spends a lot of time creating new characters, who are not so unique anymore and are not balanced properly. Finally, you will also find very rude people, but the most dangerous thing is that they cry because they didn't kill someone or curse you for thinking you are superior, other than that it is a super fun and great game to spend time.

They don't have vision of how the Game should be and when they reach balance. It's just constant RNG changes. The matches are way too short for a moba. (20-30min games seem odd for a moba, it seems like riot had to **** that up too so Lategame carries don't have any impact in the game) Ranked System always pushes you back to Silver 1- Gold 5. It's like walking against a wall. but then again you could always have smurf kids going into ranked with a much lower mmr account than they really are.

The game is really rewarding but if your teammate isn't doing well you'll end up dead and half your braincells paralyzed. The report button is abusive too and gets your account terminated for no reason causing you to do an appeal which Riot Games is never strict on unbanning players for the right and wrong reasons.

a 2020 review of league, if you're looking for a fun game, so are we (league players), league is about improvement, trying hard, doing your best and being competitive, loosing isn't fun because when you are loosing in the game, the enemy makes fun of you, and the teammates blame you for not being good enough to win them the game, it sounds outrageous but it's not far from truth, ask any lol player and he'll say that his experience was mostly negative, and the team that's supposed to help are useless, all they tell you is " thanks for reporting, next time just mute people ", no punishment for bad behaviors but only a bot that detects bad words.. but the game itself isn't bad, the players make it unplayable a lot of times, and riot support distance themselves from the problems.

League of Legends was game "made by community for community". It was first lie between many.
It comes with relatively easy-to-understand system. And very quickly gets many user/clients.
But it comes with many problems made by worst game-maker ever - Morrelo. Heroes, which are overused or neverused. Bad class design -> AP tanks and assasins. Etc.
In recent years (2020 now) it is only China game. It is hilarious, like RIOT sell themselves to communist country only because of moneys. :D
The game is more quicker and very sharpened. You get everything or nothing. For "competetive" players it is something necessary. But not everybody are competetive robots.
Gameplay is schematized and dull. No surprise. Only standard farming map with fights. Every game. Another "need" of competetive players. Very quickly you can get bored.
After all, LOL is like fireworks. All colors , sounds mixed together - you get very easily exited. But in time, you can get bored. Not if you quickly skip to next firework/game.
Yes, it is pay-to-play and pay-to-win. Paying people are clients not players. This is problem.
Community is toxic. At this point is good to say, it is not only community error.
The game itself keeps players under pressure. In case of competetive players it is (maybe) okay. But not for everybody. In games, especially competetive games, emotion comes and grows. A single mistake can have fatal aftermaths. And this is a problem of LOL.
The game has a community that she raised herself.
This game is not balanced to be "competetive". Especially if "balance" very often corresponds to sales trends. Competetive players are more like entertainers.

Don't play this game, it would be a waste of your time, because RIOT is worst company. Why this company worst? Because they don't care about players who want to have a fun. I mean if you are a Gold rank player and you are good in this game so the rank system will destoy you, as it works like that to destoy your rank and made you angy. In situation when you win 2 games after that you will constantly loos, just because the game rank system will find for you team members who dont have same rank as you, they would be noobs, lawer ranks or even worst they will play with boosted account and it wil means they buy account and they dont even get Level30 experiences- dont know how to play and I am sorry for my words - they will "f you" rank and your gaming experience. Example playing 5-5 if you have just a 1 player who starting to feed enamy team, you need to be shure you will have extreamly less chance to win game, even more discusting - you wouldnt be able to surend game and go out, just because that player will not push the Surend, he will try to made you angry after it Toxic( when you use rap words) and rather he/she will get ban from the system(as a feeder, Griefing(A griefer is a player in a multiplayer video game who deliberately irritates and angers other players within the game, using aspects of the game in unintended ways.) you as a "toxic" player(but of course not) will get instant ban and maybe lost your account. So in the conclusion this game dont have a future even Pro-steamers(players) who are playing the game, doesnt like
LEAGUE OF LEGENDS at all, they only making monay but if sombody will give them more then Riot spending for PR, trust me they will very fast unistall it and try to play somthing much better.

Great game but is sadly run by an awful dev. They haven't got a clue on how to balance the matchmaking or balance the champs. They refuse to ban trolling inting player and wont listen to any feedback. They arn't interested in the player feedback all they care about is money. What an awful dev
Riot Games only care about making quick money and the esports. There no one real that you can speak to at LoL just the awful support staff.
Riot Games staff refuse to listen to any feedback about the matchmaking system being awful. I just had a game were am vs a plat adc and plat support and I get silver player and my adc and mid laner feed and then afk. Yet Riot Games refuse to listen or do anything about it
Riot think that its ok for the vs team to get plat plays while you get bronze player. Riot refuse to listen to any feedback that give about the awful matchmaking and just use the same excuse that its just an unlucky match up. when this is happening every other game. 11 years on and Riot Games still dont have a clue on what they are doing and they treat the community like idiots. They have got to be the worse dev I have ever seen!

Don't play this dog #@$&.
Pre 2013 it was near-perfect.
Everything that's reminiscent of a tower-defense game, or of teamwork is just being systematically removed. Most of the champions are unusable junk like the items that are so bland and rigid.
Bland and rigid is essentially the game since the changes started in 2013.
Any team-work skills were ripped off champions. Reworks are all bad. Everything is hyperbolic... it's either a champion that's sickeningly sweet (and stupid with tons of audio-dialogue on click) or it's made to look 'overly cool' like an 8 year old designed it.
No art or subtlety and anything that was funny about skins or champs just got removed or redone, totally missing the point. It's an obnoxious, hyperbolic, eyesore.
I work at a school where kids aren't even playing it anymore. Club's gone. lol Even the girls that once played it have the same opinions as the boys. Pretty much mine! lol It's just hideous and stupid and broken.
Go online and figure out which champs with which items are the cheapest and most overpowered... that's all you need to do to get ahead, because it's that broken. Only a small amount works. The rest is all left behind and unusable.
Icons aren't even updated, the art doesn't even match from different decades. lol It's that bad.
All they care about is selling you the new broken champ and collecting a lot of money for skins and chromas on something over-powered.
Even those are degrading. The prices went way up to. Do the math on that it's shocking how they rip you off and for what.
The direction is money... shaking people down. That's it. They do not give a damn about match-making or serious gaming and teamwork... etc. Not like they did 2012 and before.
Sold out and trash.
I'd be embarrassed to work for this company.
They're just camping out on top of the corpse of something that was once great and they've been doing it for 7 years.
Even the surveys are all about the STORE and the PRODUCTS and VALUE... that's it! lol
Severely pathetic and sad.

I started to play lol in 2016 because my best friend was playing, and told me that was a fun game. When I began to play, took me a few days to begin to enjoy it, but after that I was very surprised about how rich the game is in content and possibilties.
You take a few days (or months) to understand the basics of game. But, to be really good, you have to play in the ranked mode, because normally is harder than the casual game. All the matches last at least 15 minutes but it is possible to extent to 50 minutes or more. And it is very stressful when you face a better enemy than you are, or have a newbie teammate.
The launcher has a lot of technical problems like when the game crashes, or have a slow loanding screen. But with all this problems I still love the game. You have tons of content about the game on the internet, guides of how to play, vídeos to watch, cinematics and minigames. And this is for me the incredible part of this massive game.
You can play with your friends or random teamates, you have a lot options to choose your style of how you will play the game or the skin of your Champion. It has a huge comunity and a lot of regular players. 4.5 / 5

Sinceramente le daré una mala calificación, arruino mi vida, y los sistemas de emparejamiento son bien malos y hay mucha gente que desea perder apropósito haciendo que afecte a todo el equipo. deberían equilibrarlo un poco mejor, hay personajes que no le ganan a nadie después del minuto 20 y hace pensar de por que están esos personajes, es mejor quitarlos si los ponen muy des balanceados.

This game is not bad. Since the game support and half of the players are bad, the game only worth 3 marks. Half of the player that I met have verbal abused either me or other players. That's okay. Since many people have hard life. However, the reporting system never works. I reported many player that verbal abused others and attached the picture in the report. I even opened a ticket to actually contact the support. But I have never got any response.

League of Legends is a cleverly built up, addictive MOBA which probably the most popular game of the last decade. Many champions, very good cinematics, nice lore and sound / artistic design. Almost sure, you will find your favorite champion to play and align with.
Downsides is the player community, the unfair ranked system (literally a coin flip, and you can only get higher if you are much better than your MMR, otherwise you will suffer), and also feeling slightly pay to win (I'm mostly winning if I buy riot points). Finished the game at platinum I after failing diamond promo for 5 times, mostly because of AFK / inting people. Balance team is terrible, most of them are not even playing the game, or if they do, they are low ranked. Every patch makes some champions broken, and some of them absolutely useless. I believe this game is doomed on a long run, maybe that's why Riot starting to invest into other genres.

There is too much to write about this game. It was a very good game until like season 5-6. Ever since then, yea the devs are trying. New graphics, cinematic trailers, improvements, balance changes, bug fixes etc..., but the overall FEELING, of what league was is gone. This was a game, where if you were better, more knowledgeable, knew the what how and had a good rune and talent build (old system), and with the right items, and game play, you could dominate, also you had better teamwork with your team. Now days it feels dumbed down, the community is so salty and toxic, i find it hard to work with others most of the time, and that negative mentality spreads faster then the covid. Even got me a few times. Don't get me wrong, you can still hard carry games if your good, its just you have to sweat blood for it sometimes.
Its hard to point what went wrong for me with this game over the years, but from being an active almost daily player with an eager to climb beyond diamond in the seasons, i'm barely doing the qualifiers to gold to get the free victorious skin for the year, and that's that. Rarely I check back in for some events or to play with friends, but like only once every other week or month.
The continuous changes, that I feel most of the time were unnecessary and came faster and faster overtime are to blame I think. Rember: the old galio? Old nidale? Old Zyra (passive multikills)? AP blender Yi? Soraka jungle? Old items: Leviatan? Sword of the Occult? Will of the ancients (spellwamp)? Old supp items (Hearth of gold, philosopher stone, kage's ****)? RIP, RIP and RIP! The list goes on FOREVER...
Who plays ryze now? Who likes playing Yuumi under gold league? Anyone seen a Nidale over the last 100 games he/she had in the rift?
They "balanced" out all the things, that made League overall FUN. Now its dumbed down so much it basicly left (mostly and in low level, but not everywhere) basicly to yasuo and zed mains with a 50-50-100% (good-bad-in the enemy team/my team).
Just to give another example: this season i feel like bot lane meta is kinda dying, especially on the lower level. Even I myself find it better to just bring an ap "support" to support (deal tons of damage for) my team, simply because as I said before, the quality is way beyond critical levels, and YOU CANNOT carry a game, with a support soraka/leona(maybe/janna), etc..., but can with others like veigar ,lux, orianna,etc... or of meta rengar/riven/sion, etc...
I've said it many times (Support main in case anyone wonders) 0*anything remains what? 0! I can heal, shield, cc, even tank (ie: Cait ult), give my hearth, blood and soul, if the adc, jungle, mid and even the top is ... what it is, there is JUST NOTHING YOU CAN DO!
Old times? You could; More plausible to do 4v5 and even 3v5-s then it is now.
I can say the same for TFT as well.
S1: cool awsome, fun, cool
S2: wtf? ok still kinda cool, not so much fun or awsome...
S3: changed again realy?
mid season changes, etc...
Im so fed up tbh. Even this nexus blitz even now. MAIN EVENT? RNG bring it to 1 team so there is nothing you can do about it, or just do some ****
There is a difference between fun cheese, and forced **** up RNG RIOT! And sadly they took all the fun out, and brought all the **** RNG in.
Now to be fair, from a neutral view, League is still an outstanding MOBA, with better visuals and sounds, and with clearly a lot of effort put into it (they had the money from us to do it). If you are a new player and NEVER played the game before, you will most likely love it and can give you a solid 8/10 on it. But for me who knew what the game was like and played since S1. It slowly became from a 10/10, to a 8/10 by the end of S5-6, to a now 5 (and almost a 4).
And just to turn back a bit, why did we have to go beyond account level 30 "to infinity"? Aside to bring in loot boxes and more opportunity to make $$$? Yes Full f2p players can get skins now thanks to the crafting system, which I as a fellow f2p player was happy at first, but then again after some time you and many other veterans can ask the question, whats it worth now to have a cool skin on your favourite champion? Yea sure you bought the skin years ago and now its basically free you threw away a bit of money, Yes you see more people with the same skin as yours. But do you really get the same "joy"?
Normal rift is a **** avoid it if possible, its a toxic nest literally.
Aram is aram, its ok, Rest are the best.
Practice tool again: great addition, 0 fun potencial with the 60 minute time limit. Still its a good thing to have, and very much appreciated.
What this game really needs is to get all of its **** together finally, make it AT LEAST a year without any **** major changes/balance updates.
New champ meta:
week 1: new champ comes in (higher price to buy, idk wtf was the point of that, previously was 6300 all time, feels CHEAP!)
week 2: major nerf(s).
week 3 - : get rekt.
For new players: 8/10
For me now: 6/10

Could be a very good game, however, I think the idea with this type of co-op multiplayer will never be a good idea. LoL has now proven this, and other game produers should be wise to not go into the same trap.
The elo making is unfair, it's about becoming the best carrier, not the best player as a whole. The definition oh what makes a player great varies between different elos, different
The game is too frustrating and toxic to beome a good game. One of the high reward pleasure feelings includes also the things that is bringing it to its knees. I've played this game for 10 years and I'm qutting now. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone. it gives people a false mindset to pursue success. It forces you to try to perfect something that might already be perfect, and as a consequence you might just end up learning bad habits and false knowledge in the pursuit of becoming a better player after going through failure.

Was once a really fun game to play now its just an unbalanced piece of trash. some cahmpions are great, some have gotten really good reworks, and some are just utter unbalanced garbage. Before when was an event you could earn the tokens through missions and playing mathces now its pay for that overpriced trash pass if you want something, aaaand don't get me started with the "prestige" skins they are making. It's just a regular version of a skin with different colors. Then we have the client which they said will be maintained and be better than the older... well its utter garbage it crashes almost every time, there are some bugs which an junior dev could fix but nooo the only thing they are constantly fixing is the shop if something isnt right so that the whales, krakens can spend the money on those PrEsTiGe skins and lame passes.

Sit with a bunch of bugs, lags, but with a sense of justice if someone says something wrong on the chat or twitter. But this is exactly what is important for the players, ANE DAMAGES LAG FOR 10 MINUTES, a client full of bugs, and dull events.

Nice game and a nice graphic for a MOBA, the lore is outstanding and well made. Low vote is for the community, is basically impossible to enjoy a game. Moderation doesn't work at all, you can report all the flamers that you want, there will always be another in your next game ruining your game intentionally feeding or gonig afk (if not flaming, obviously). Want to enjoy it? Play with other 4 people that you know and silence the enemy team.
Characters stuck in minions and structures and a machine translation localization so bad that you can't really understand your skill in game if not looking on EXTERNAL websites complete the whole opera.

League of Legends is a fun game with a fair strategy for a free-to-play game. It allows you to unlock everything that affects the game for 0 dollars. The game is fun and the updates do make this seem a little bit more fun as time goes on. It does have loot boxes to give you the illusion that you might get a skin you want. That alone wouldn't merit a low score.
There is zero privacy for your account. Websites tell players what your win rate and choices were in every game and can ever tell people how much real cash you've spent on the game. Riot seems to encourage these second party websites and while many don't mind this data being shared it doesn't feel great to have a party member start telling you what a loser you are because you're not as good as them at the game. This brings me to my biggest issue.
The largest problem with league is it's player base. It is one of the most toxic groups I've ever played with. Teams quickly dissolve into blaming each other and at times it turns to telling people to kill themselves or hate speech. The report mechanism of league has failed to stop this being a consistent and common occurrence. The community that watches their esports is far kinder but actually playing their game is truly miserable. Being a positive attitude just makes you a target for other negative players. I've been involved in several other online communities after putting League down and have found out that this type of aggression is rare in other games. The chat function is important since this is a team game so there isn't much you can do other than try and mute the toxic players as they come up. Its unfortunate there isn't away to block the demeaning comments before they come out.

I've played league for 8 years, and I've reached challenger 4 seasons. I have to play without chat (unabled), because most of times is the most toxic thing in the world, and also it helps me to get focused on wining the game.
Most of people don't know anything about this game, and they say that they always lose bcs of trolls and afks, but when I see their gameplay, they do almost everything bad.
This game has a really high skill gap, and you can't think that you'll win everygame if you don't know anything about the game. Youtube has a lot of conntent, it has the most basic thungs about the game, and even with this info, easy to understand and search for, people is still complaining on trolls and afks instead of improving.
This game has an average community, i've played a lot of online games, and league's isn't the worst, by far.

justice system is 0
flame can exceed ,even with an automatic system , because humans are more smart
troll+grief can happen without problem,hard to detect
- you can loss account based on the fact the game isn't balanced and makes your gameplay frustrating and very demanding ,which can make you flame sometimes.
- the team responsible for improving gameplay and balance it , do slow moves, when is obvious what should be done , half measures been took , when there are better measures to straight away take.
Client lags/often has bugs
Game has more and more diversity in champions(+bugs) ,and is hard to control yourself and pick something without being contest high by enemy team , there are 3-4 champions which could harm your gameplay after picking something , not as it use to be at the early stage ,where you coulded control ,and hold at distance what is broken against your champion you choose to play.
a percent of 33% of the champions pool rarely show themself in league anymore, mostly you can see new champions ,because of broken mechanics +high cc +no weaknesses as the old champions had and been created in armony with the pre existing ones.
The ranked doesn't show likely you advance , and the quality of the ranked games rise, because it tends to be much more frustrating as you go up, one single mistake deciding over a fight in some cases and 1 variable is enought to flip hard the team chances to win.
The new modified system with the drake buffs,maded there to don't be late game , when an entire roie class depend on the late game scale (ADC) ,and mages and adc , on top some of them are squishy , get now executed on 10% hp from elder ,which really gets in conflict with what games been designed to work like.
elder>>>> drakes(final buff)>Baron
The solo/duo que is often the target of abuses ,from higher tier players going lower elos , to boosting services , to unbalanced premades in team ,as ranks exploiting team balance system which riot use , and to the fact that premades communication can work against you ,when you que alone and play vs duo bot lane with a random support ,which may even be autofilled and have no knowledge over the role.
+ you invest money ,and can get banned 140 years trying to lower toxicity around you , because rules are rules to Riot , they don't care about your good intentions , doing something which conflicts with rules still getting punished ,even if it had as result the attempt to lower someone else troll/grief behaviour, or toxicity.

The game is unlike many things you will have played before and Churchill's quote concerning Russia applies well to the game, "It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key". Having spent over 2 years with the game and having attended a professional league event, I only now feel able to comment on the key to the game.
The uniqueness of the game can easily enthral. However, unlike a good thriller or mystery, the key is nothing like you had hoped for and brutally strips you of much of the joy you felt about gaming. Without a shadow of a doubt the community is the most abusive and aggressive I have encountered anywhere by many nautical miles. The cause of this is Riot games give the appearance of earnestly tackling the problem, whilst secretly abusing their own customers through warnings, slow queues and bans for those with network disconnects. This goes well beyond the MMO distress of a disconnect during a crucial moment causing a team wipe. Specifically as the distress is magnified by Riot consciously punishing the victim.
This sadistic nature at the heart of the firm is what drives rational people to be so foul to one another, as to avoid the wrath of Riot, they are driven to abuse their fellow players to enforce Riot's rules. The game is an excellent example of sociology and psychology utilised to turn a population into one of informants and oppressors. Once you strip away the layers to find the key you discover this not only to be true, but discover you receive no benefit in return. There is no story, satisfaction from winning or skill acquired. You play solely to avoid the wrath of Riot and the unwilling player base they manipulate to abuse one another.
It is an abusive firm, with an abusive player base which disguises this to ensure it extracts its pound of flesh. You will understand much for discovering the key to this game, but at such a price that you never truly recover. I leave it to you to decide what lessons and joy you choose to extract from your time gaming, but do not believe this to be anything other than cruelty disguised as pleasure.

Much more visually appealing than DOTA 2, with lots of characters. If it weren't for eternals, and the fact that the balance team is at best competent, and at worst, forgets what role the champion they're balancing actually is, the game would be a solid 10/10.
Although that alongside bot players in Co-op vs AI for account leveling and horrible tutorials making the game HORRIBLE to try to learn as a new player, combined with the toxicity of being an online team based game take it down a few points. Honestly though LOL is a classic and worth giving a shot if you're willing to put a little effort into learning how to play.

I am a league of legend player since season 2 and i can say that for sure this game season after season is improving !So this is still a growing game with a lot of visual updates and new champions season after season...With new modes (aram 3v3 urf etc) adding now the new TFT battles a brand new experience!
But we are here to talk about the 5vs5 mode the core of this MOBA game! When you have a game with 100 plus champions balance is really hard but LOL is trying his best with patches and more to balance it and the developers they are doing a really good job ! Graphics are also fantastic with a lot of updates since day one and the voice acting of the characters is amazing ! There is also an huge LORE in this moba with a really interesting cinematics ! Gameplay is easy and funny and as a team game everyone have a job to do and if they do it right they will win the game (top support juggle mid adc).
But why not 10/10 .....i will tell you why this game have the most toxic community i have ever encounter! A simple mistake and you get the curses of your life!! And its not a few of players is almost everygame and this is getting worse and worse...Simple the community cant enjoy the game ! The focus only the win which is normal....i want also to win but first i want to enjoy the game !Another
issue is the smurfing ...And what is smurfing a high ranked player gets lower rank accounts (friends or even getting played for it ) and start playing for them in order to get them higher ranks (cause higher ranks means higher rewards for the account) so that means a lower ranked players getting destroyed of a high rank skill player and ruining the experience and when the lower rank player gets back to play in higher ranks account he ruins the game too for the higher rank players ....
For conclussion i dont know how to fix this but i surely recommend this game its free and its not p2w!!!
You can also enjoy the competitive scene which is one of the best in gaming industry with lot of events all around the globe!

I played this game for 10 years and I love it. Unfortunately the matchmaking is the worst! You only get judged by win or loose, performance does not matter. You have 1 idiot in your team and lose. Over the years its just coinfilp win/lose/win/lose and it feels playing good does not really matter anymore. Too much easy champ abilities, Teamplay focused. Maybe great for esports (I find it very boring tho) but not for casuals. Skins have great designs tho.

This game used to be more fun. If you have 4 friends to play with it's okay but with randoms it's just impossible. A lot of game breaking patches and updates also ruin the fun.

no importa cuantas veces intente volver a instalarlo y jugarlo, simplemente no logro hacer, por mas que lo intente, que este juego me divierta, ya van 3 veces que lo instalo, mismas veces que lo termino desinstalando despues de 2 partidas, las partidas se basan basicamente en hacer clic en estupideces para hacer subir numeros, asi durante casi 2 horas, que es lo que algunas partidas pueden durar, hay muchos objetos super complicados, que ni siquiera añaden estrategia a las partidas, ya que casi siempre terminas buscando en internet el mejor set de objetos para tu personaje, los roles son super aburridos y super tediosos, no se conforman con hacer que el combate sea hacer clics para hacer golpes de remate si no que tambien esperan que me quede todas las 2 horas que dura la partida en el mismo lugar del unico mapa que existe en el juego, ademas, como cereza del pastel, la comunidad es super toxica, se que esto no es culpa total del juego pero los desarrolladores hacen poco o nada para evitar esto, si te toca la mala suerte de que uno de los integrantes de tu equipo se salga de la partida, no solamente significa que estas jodido (porque despues de una decada que lleva el juego no se les ha ocurrido a los desarrolladores que el integrante sea reemplazado por un cpu, a pesar de que si existen partidas contra cpu) si no que ademas la partida va a ser 3 veces mas tediosa de lo que ya era, en general, league of legends es un juego de buscar cosas por internet para repetirlas haciendo clics, y subiendo numeritos pendejos y rezar porque todos los integrantes de tu equipo se queden en su zona toda la partida, no solamente es un juego que me aburre, sino que es un juego que me frustra, sin exagerar prefiero 1000 veces jugar con mi imaginacion que jugar league of legends

Used to be one of the most fun games ever made. The fact that it was free and ran on any hardware made it much better. Despite the free to play nature, myself and pretty much everyone I know who plays has spent a lot of money on the game because the game keeps you hooked and the skins are really high quality. You can blow entire weekends trying out new builds and new starts on new champions, or hone your craft and perfect a single champion.
Giving this a zero though because in around 2015 a new design team took over. Since then the game has been getting worse and worse every year. I used to look forward to patch notes but now reading them makes me cringe. The game used to be almost perfectly balanced in 2014 but since then the balance team his been feeding us balance roulette. They intentionally ruin the game in order to "shake up the competitive scene". Every change to a game should be to make it better but Riot even admitted in their own words that they do "change for the sake of change".
Needless to say the community got sick of Riots **** real fast so what does Riot do? They stop releasing their player numbers. Riot continued to ruin the game for another couple years till the point where their forums were filled with nothing but angry and negative posts. So what does Riot do? They remove their own forums. Now if you want to give feedback you do it on reddit. If the post is about esports or a highlight clip it is instantly taken down, including any and all discussion about the actual game, leaving Riot in their own echo chamber.
Every single new champion in the past 3 years has been just terrible. Ability descriptions used to be a sentence or two but on "Modern" league champs they span entire essays. Of course they're incredibly overpowered and they receive back to back nerfs for 6 months straight until they get to a point where they're statically balanced but still incredibly frustrating to play againt.
If you want to know about the current state of League just go to twitch and open any league stream. There was always toxic streamers but now every streamer can't help themselves but criticize the game and the developers. Even casters from live tournament games drop a load on the developers whenever they think they can get away with it, it's gotten that bad.
So here's a zero. I give the lowest score because the current design team were handed a great game, and continue to do nothing but ignore feedback and make it worse every single year.

If you want to play this game, please, don't do it, AVOID THIS STUPID GAME AT ALL COST.
My review is not something new but it's good to say how bad this game is:
-Unbalanced champions, obviously Riot doesn't know how to balance his game.
-A very very VERY toxic community, its hard to make friends in this game.
-Smurfs are EVERYWHERE, i mean, for the most part, you can't even enjoy normal games because there's very good players that use secondary accounts so new players in the game aren't very welcome.
-Trolls are very common in this game and they can screw up your game easily, and don't try to insult them because you'll end up penalized.
-There's loot boxes in this game and they're so UNNECESSARY
-Talking about penalized, if you decide to be "toxic" and you insult your teammates with bad words, they can report you and your account can be banned forever, it doesn't matter if you spent a thousand of dollars in this game, and yeah, there are better solutions like ban your chat or something like that, there's no reason to ban permanently an account just because you're toxic.
-You can play other game modes: ARAM, TFT (Teamfight Tactics) and "seasonably game modes", but these are so bad. ARAM is a single line where the champions are random, so there's no strategy here, just luck. TFT is a terrible rip-off of Dota Underlords, so RNG is everything here. The aforementioned "seasonably game modes" are game modes (obviously) that are for a limited time, they can be fun at first, but then you'll feel these modes are just boring and repetitive, sometimes they're even unbalanced (One For All is an example, you and your teammates have the same champions)
-Riot Games is, in my opinion, the worst developers ever, its a shame that there are people supporting these developers.
Just play something else, don't ruin your life with this.

The game is excessively heavy due to the graphic quality it has, both in reproduction and in loading. I've been playing for two weeks and the game has closed alone during a game 17 times, which caused my defeat in ranked matches. There are many unbalanced heroes, Yasuo, Sett and just about any other hero who benefits from life theft. There are not enough items to balance all the mechanics. Scoring for ranked matches is based on winning or losing, not on your performance, which makes no sense to score and is completely unfair as you will never be in the position you really deserve to be in.
For fun you can not take the game seriously, which can end up ruining the game of others, so the game has one of the most toxic communities you will see.
Honestly, if it was a paid game I would have already gone bankrupt.

Riot is awful when it comes to balancing their characters and even worse at remembering that certain ones exist. One that comes to mind is shaco. He was nerfed consecutively because riot felt that his burst damage was too good, so they nerfed him, did a "minor" rework to damage scaling, nerfed him again, then both reworked and nerfed him at the same time. Meanwhile champions like talon, rengar, yi, and zed possessed easier and more consistent methods to doing strong burst attacks that delt significantly more damage. Another problem is how they keep pumping out new champions yet many currently existing champions have not received new content whatsoever. Kindred has been out for quite some time and hasnt even recieved a new skin, while the recently reworked urgot got a new deluxe skin. So honestly even if it is a fun game i cannot say it is a good game, with all these issues i cannot say with a straight face that this game deserves more than a 1.

To make it short: Riot doesn't give **** about user experience anymore. There's just one thing they care about: making as much money possible.
To people who think about starting to play it, do yourself a favor and don't. It's a waste of time.
More details from my (by now 7 years of) experience:
1) Client is buggy as hell
2) For new players it's completely overloaded. Almost 150 champs to learn, Riot still adding new ones, and new additions or reworks are designed so badly it's absolutely no fun playing against anymore. Save your time and spend it on something that's actually entertaining.
3) Community is toxic and Riot doesn't care. They have a report system, but it's pretty much doing nothing. Expect people to intentionally feed, troll, be toxic as hell, Riot is fine with it all.
4) It's probably pay 2 win by now. I haven't been spending any money on this game anymore for years. And I can feel the consequences. 5 Minute wait times in Silver / Gold Elo, only to get abysmal matches. When I compare the matchups I get with the ones others get that I know for sure still spend money on this game, there is a significant gap. Of course Riot won't admit it, but it's way too obvious to be statistically possible randomness. Add to that Riots history of implementing concepts that were already proven to be garbage in other games by other companies - even against community protest - and it's not that hard to imagine Riot using matchmaking algorithms that punish people that don't pay up.
5) Even high ranked streamers and youtubers actually recommend to not start playing it anymore or to quit if you don't enjoy it, since they see the same problems
6) The most obvious fact to prove my point of Riot not giving **** about the community and experience and only want to make as much money as possible: League is clearly dying. Revenue went down from 3 billion in 2016 to about half in 2019. Of course they won't ban or punish potential money spenders, no matter how bad they behave or are for the game. Of couse that would be an incentive to make bad matchmaking to push people to purchasing stuff. EA and Activision both proved the ideas are out there. They were just stupid and greedy enough to patent those ideas and make it public knowledge. However, nothing prevents Riot from implementing those mechanics in secret themselves - no one will ever know.
So yes, do yourself a favor, don't start playing this game or if you are, just stop. It will save you a lot of wasted time spent better otherwise.

DON'T SPEND ANY MONEY ON THIS GAME!
Forced meta by Riot. There is no thinking outside the box to make your own unique build or playstyle.
They buff already buffed champions to a level that you can get one shotted and do 0 dmg.
HERE IS A GREAT FEW EXAMPLES.
Garen is a "tank" He has a move that makes him gain tremendous attack for his next attack. The man can run through an entire team with a spin attack that kills everyone than run YOU down while you are trying to safely kite him and hit you with a half health move. Then his ult is an execution that does damage based on missing health. So you are dead. OH AND BTW RIOT REFUSES TO FIX HIS BUG where he can still move a tiny amount and auto attaack you while he is stunned rooted or airborne.
Nautilus is a "support" He can throw a hook and catch you. He has a massive shield and long root with his auto attacks. I cannot stress enough how broken this man is when you are trying to safely lane. The guy waits in a bush and you can SEE HIM. But you have to get your last hits or you lose period so you try to avoid the guy however. He can casually walk up to you underneath you tower and root you while his ranged partner kils you. Then they both walk out alive and safe like it was nothing. OH AND BTW you deal 0 damage to him if he buys one item so yes he can safely attack you and not worry.
Tryndamere. Dont even get me started on this guy. His ult makes it so that for 5-7 seconds he DOES NOT DIE. So basically you are fighting a guy who has a passive crit, can go through walls, and slow you down while reducing your damage. You will be 4 shotted by him and if you build damage he will just use his ultimate and tower dive you safely and kill you then dash out with his abilities through the wall safely.
If you have made it this far then you should realize that riot DOES NOT CARE about balance. There are over 150 champions in the game now and you can only ban ONE. So basically no matter what you do there will ALWAYS be a match up with broken champions that should not exist.
Also, just a side note. I got perma banned TWICE for defending myself against trolls. People who literally swear at me and then let my laner kill them for free are the people you are going to deal with and you cant do a thing about it because if you so much as say HEY CAN YOU STOP you will be reported and banned. OH AND BTW. The justice system is based on how well you perform so if the troll wants he can leave you for dead. You can go 0/5/0 and then thats a reportable offense by your team troll and you WILL BE BANNED. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

The community is garbage, Riot is garbage, the balance is garbage, they permaban people with considerable amounts of money on their account for "toxic" behavior but they don't ban feeders (I understand toxicity is not ideal but a permanent chat restriction would work much better yk).
-Hey Riot, Riven is extremely broken, will you please get her a nerf? Her kit has way too much options
^Look! we're releasing Dunkmaster Ivern at the cheap price of 150 million dollars!
-But Riot, when will you balance the game?
^But professionals play without trouble, why would there be problems in solo Q?
-Riot, professionals are top 0.1% of players, what about the other 99.1%?
^But hey, we released a copy-paste of dota autochess! that's bound to make you happy right???
-Riven is still broken and Nautilus Q is three times bigger than how it appears on screen

So i played this game for a good while. As of the current state of the game:
Pros:
- The game was worth a 10 star rating some seasons ago.
- Kinda great when ahead.
Cons:
- Too much damage.
- Balance and meta forced by Riot. (Buffs to champs often happen right before a new skin release!)
- CertainlyT made champs
- Toxic community (intentional feeding, flame for no reason)
- Objectives can be soloed to easily, and elder dragon execute is broken.
- Matchmaking. Most games are just a stomp.
- Ranked system is beyond bad and requires so much grind despite 80% of the games being decided by teammates.
- not fun unless you play one of Riots favourite champs.
- Smurfs ruining ranked.
- Dragon Soul makes comebacks way too hard.
Tbh i guess i just played my last game of league... it just lost the quality it had. And today everything seems to oneshot you despite missing half their abilities. Getting oneshot in a second makes no sense considering the human reaction time and the duration of CC in the game.

This game isn't very good. The community is toxic and the first match I played someone told me to uninstall (I probably should do that) and not to mention that it took 30 minutes! It was just so meh that I only played one match before getting bored and apparently its unbalanced (I wasn't invested enough to know that). Maybe you'll like it if you can get past the toxic community and long games but I'm incidentally uninstalling.

Juego a esto desde septiembre de 2012, parche de Kha'Zix. Me lo he pasado en grande, he hecho amigos, casi ligo y tengo partidas épicas grabadas en mis recuerdos.
¿Por qué le pongo un 5?
Por que es un juego con un factor social muy fuerte. Y la comunidad de este juego es la más tóxica que he visto nunca. Aparentemente la desarrolladora, Riot Games, está más preocupada por encontrar nuevas formas de monetizar el juego (primero skins, luego wards, iconos chromas, emoticonos, ahora mascotas...) que de crear una comunidad sana.
He jugado juegos en los que si faltas al respeto a alguien, te expulsan en el acto de la partida.
Aquí no importa. Alguien te puede desear que mueras de todos los tipos de cáncer habidos y por haber, y salir impune.

It's just a game that could care less about its players and only cares about money and LCS. It shows this through constant updates that do not favor more experienced players (unless you're LCS) and constant remakes that take away champs that are fun. The ban system is completely unfair and often does not punish the player in the wrong but rewards people for afking games. The community is disgusting. Would not recommend this game.

It is hard to find a massive (in terms of number players) and fun game where skill matters the most. In LoL I find that I get just rewards as I learn and become more skilled at the game, regardless if I spend money in it or not. And of course, a good experience invites me to spend money in it, as there are nice cosmetic rewards. I've played a couple of seasons now and expect to be around for many more. The one thing to improve is the ingame toxicity

Задумка была хороша, даже когда-то был баланс, но умственно-отсталые Riot Games начиная с 2015 года делают всё хуже и хуже. Им похуй на баланс, им похуй на всё. У этих обезьян в голове лишь одно - деньги. На игроков им похуй. В игре 140+ героев, играть можно дай бог на 30, ведь остальные 100+ - это унылое занерфленное говнище, на котором играть интересно, но победить невозможно. Матчмейкинг на уровне помойного ведра. На лоу эло играют долбоёбы, которые мышью двигать не умеют, на среднем эло - чсв дауны, которые считают себя богами этой игры, на хай эло играют очень часто смурфы и игра выглядит не как 10 на 10, а как пвп смурфов, у кого смурфов больше, тот и победил. И отдельные слова про эло Мастер+, в этой помойке настолько часто автофилит не на твою роль, что ты постоянно играешь не в удовольствие. От тебя мало чего зависит, ведь начиная с 9 сезона они настолько сильно загубили баланс, что ты в соло не выиграешь, зато в соло заруинить игру - проще простого. Победитель определяется методом "монетки", суть в том, что рандомайзер делает коинфлип и определяет какая команда победить ещё до выбора героев. Так что смысла играть в эту фекальную массу - 0. Вся игра строится на рандоме. Стаж игры более 7 лет, уже сам забросил эту игру, из-за наплевательства разработчиков.

Por exemplo; você inicia uma rankeada, seu client trava e acaba perdendo pontos por "desistir da partida" sendo que foi o próprio client. Tirando isso, o jogo em si é maravilhoso, diverte bastante, possui ótimos personagens e narrativas interessantes. Sobre a comunidade? Sim, ela é extremamente toxica

The game is free-to-play and a fully competitive multiplayer experience so i do find reviewing it a bit pointless, nonetheless, League of Legends remains as the best esports experience around.
The game updates itself at a good pacing that helps it feel fresh without feeling overwhelming, the balance is decent enough to cater to all audiences. (Casual, Ranked & Competitive)
While I see a lot of criticism towards Riot Games, I really think its a smart company that really ends up giving people what they really want instead of what people say they want and that shows in the constant growth of the game and esports audience, even 10 years after launch.

A comunidade do jogo tem um pouco de cada(assim como qualquer outra), há aqueles que são gente boa com todos, aqueles que querem ver todos putos e são idiotas pra caramba e aqueles que só querem jogar e dane-se o resto, um ponto positivo do jogo é que a Riot Games investe bem no jogo, principalmente no cenário competitivo, e ainda dá um suporte ótimo aos jogadores.

The player support system is pathetic and disgusting, they tell you nice words so that you stay satisfied without going to another game, but still keep aggressive and offensive players in the meantime.
I repeat, it is a game that tries to get your money while trying to give you hope that you can be a "pro" player and a legend. The only legendary thing around here is the legendary discontent you will have if you play it, and even worse: if you decide to give Riot games your money.

League of Legends is a highly replayable, mostly enjoyable game that is easily accessible to a lot of people. It doesn't take a very strong PC, has easy to understand fundamentals and a very high skill ceiling.
Most of the negative points boil down to an infamous playerbase and game balance, but these things become less important if you play for the fun of it, instead of trying to climb the highly optimized ranked system (compared to most other multiplayer games).

A game that use to be fun and enjoyable but the developer Riot Games, is killing the game. Riot Games refuse to listen to feedback or will fix the awful matchmaking after a large amount of the community have stated as well.
The community is mostly toxic as Riot wont deal with the really toxic player and will just focus on the players who want to win.
The support staff are useless and barely do any supporting. They are just there to stop the community from speaking to anymore that is able to do anything. I have had the support staff lie to me and yet when I have tried to make a complaint there no one to speak to but the support staff.
Riot Games only cares about money and there esport yet expect the main community to put up with how disrespectful and ungrateful Riot are.
The game is never balance because Riot always adding over powered champ and dont look at how the person vs the broken champ experience is, and if they do fix the odd champ it takes week if not months to do so.
The matchmaking is awful as it goes by a MMR system were player with similar score get matched with you. This is awful as it doesn't bring in that the player been carried and that there team wins it for them.
It takes forever for Riot to ban trolls if they ever do ban them.

It was a waste of my two hours. This game is pretty boring. Throughout the whole match there was nothing really going on. Just walking over and letting my character do the killing, while I occasionally use skills. The matches also drag on too long and it becomes very very boring. This game only has so much money because of microtransactions that people buy for some reason. It’s a waste of money if you ask me. I’d recommend to spend time on any other game.

This is a review for Riot, not the game. Because they don't care about player base. Their predatory micros transaction system is disgusting. They wouldn't know what "balance" meant if it kicked them in the scrotum. They have NO idea how to properly create events so they just make you pay ridiculous amounts to reap the benefits of events (event passes). League is a good game, Riot is terrible. Get rid of Riot. Don't even get me started on Assassins, and newly made/reworked champions. See the part about balance earlier in the review. Also. Yasuo. Shouldn't. Exist. Delete him.
Overall? Screw Riot. Made the game, then ruined it.

This game is almost nothing but fun. The gameplay takes a while to master and learn everything involved, but once you understand everything that is happening, it becomes an adrenaline fueled match. The very large champion selection is a huge plus and it is very satisfying once you master a champion. There are some huge setbacks though. The community is very toxic and I would suggest trying to play with a set group of friends to create a team, it makes the game so much better. There are also some game modes that do not get enough players for some reason and are just packed full of bots. I also have a major problem with the lack of Blue essence obtained now and it makes getting new champion's for free near impossible and take weeks to gain enough. This game is great though and so much fun.

I'm splitting up my points of this game.
Community and player base:
Well, i have played many online games in my life and this game has the most toxic playerbase i have seen in my life. this game is infestet with boting software that ruines the game for other players.
the game:
the character is very unbalanced in this game and have bit to strong snowballing **** so you can't turn the game around if someone has a good start.
ARAM mode:
In this game mode there is zero on skills and all based on what chr you get.
Software quality:
This game are infested with bug on every update, and when Riot updates the software then they generate new bugs.

I just uninstalled, not worth the space on HD for the reasons bellow:
Cons:
1-Hours of waiting to find a match, if one of the ten players leaves, you return to a huge queue, and if something happens on the selection screen you get back the queue...
The worst part is not waiting for hours to find a match but when you do finally find it, you go in a totally different function from the two you asked for
like for example, I want to go top or mid, I fall as a shooter or support ...
2-Recently riot has released some very broken champions and has done nothing to balance them, and many other characters who are weak and
forgotten aren't even used anymore.
(power creep)
3-extremely toxic community
4-If you're a newbie, you'll probably face a pro-fake account player due to the crappy match up system of the game.
5-Launcher possibly developed by Ubisoft because it is extremely bugged.
Anything can happen! Black screen, computer reset, system breakdown, black squares, being unable to click, unable to chat and so on.
Sometimes it even prevents you from playing or selecting champions
(and believe me, you take a ban for it).
6-It causes a lot of depression (Seriously! If you have problems with depression, do not play this garbage because it will ruin your day). And if somebody in your team does some **** the whole team is punished, especially you.
7-highly complex, you need to make a college and decorate the skills of 120 champions in order to play well ...
Pros:
1-It's not pay to win and it has a great variety of champions with different skills, but you can't play most of them because the majority is extremely underpowered.

Nas primeiras duas semanas o jogo até parece bom, até se tornar repetitivo e monótono. Apesar da constante atualização de personagens, seus desenvolvedores precisam criar outros modos de jogos, que não sejam tão limitados a apenas três posicionamentos de batalha, como é o já pedente campo de batalhas "summoners rift".

I used to play League of Legends about 5 years ago, and had played from season 2 until that point. Unfortunately I broke my PC and hit a rough patch so could not afford to replace or repair it. Recently I got to a point in which I could once again could afford a new laptop. So just last week I decided to download the game and try to play again- only to find that someone had gotten access to my account, used it, and got it permanently banned. I was livid and reach out to support to try and rectify the situation, to which they stated that they could do nothing to lift a ban. So our accounts can get hacked and used by other people, and then banned. I am upset because I had invested a lot of money and a lot of time on that account and definitely do not plan on doing that again. I had planned on becoming a loyal player again now that I was finally able to afford to play again, but unfortunately, will have to part ways with it. I am super disappointed and would definitely not recommend to use any service provided by this company ever again. Their customer service and empathy is completely lackluster.

Used to be good but now the community is way toxic. The devs are considered "active" but I don't get how. Yes, they keep making skins, adding new characters, and "balancing" the game, but let's look at this. The skins offer no impact on gameplay, so that's just the money front of the game. Adding new characters is actually really great, and they make it so the character is different and I assume even if there are over 300 characters, it still would be fine, and they even add new champs. The "balancing part" is the biggest issue. People seem to think they're making the game better, but honestly, they're just going around in circles. Buff one champ, nerf the other, buff one role, nerf the other. Then after some time, Buff the champ that got nerf, nerf the champ that got buffed, you know where I'm going with this. The actual fixing of the game doesn't happen for years (if ever). If you ask what the problem that needs fixing if not the characters and the items, then your one of those people who worship Riot and they could do no wrong. What they need to fix is the community, specifically toxicity, afk, trolls, and feeders. Many reviews mention this, the community is absolute crap to the point where they tell you to kill yourself, and if one guy afks you're basically gonna get screwed for the next thirty minutes. "NO, they try to fix that with the honor system and surrender before 3 mins thing. if one is afk, so they do focus on it" So they tried and implemented two things for the biggest issues (not just, oh thats a bug, but an issue that makes you say **** this game) that are in the game which is going for 10 years now, and those "fixes" are basically nothing? yup you're right, they're fixing it (sarcasm). I say they should stop with the balancing which is not doing anything really since the beta version of the game is useless and the actual game is pretty much the beta, and actually figure out how to make the community better with trial and error until it gets fixed, not just try one thing and call it quits you lazy ****s.

The game pre 2013 was a really great game. It was so good in fact, that any changes to it could only ruin it.
The game has seriously lost any form of creative building or balancing in champions. The games are shorter and far less fulfilling.. the community is a Care Bear community where even in Ranked it doesn't matter if people are grouping or doing their jobs... just have fun and don't be negative... the games are basically unplayable. Most people IN this game anymore, do not use almost any teamwork or grouping and Riot hasn't encouraged it since the early days.
in the early days they'd make videos about it, constantly talk about being a good teammate... they had report systems for: NO COMMUNICATION, UNSKILLED, AVOIDING GROUP... now it's essentially a big Kiosk for really bad, overpriced skins and gamble-boxes. The overlay is hideous and the skill trees are replaced by really bad rune trees where only very few skills in any are really usable.
Every new champ is a Delete Button that's somehow unforgettable. Turrets are simply worthless let alone this game being a tower defense game. Minions once had worth and another strategy of the game was being a PUSHER and augmenting them. Now it's just sped up games where people rush for linear builds. The versatility of champs has been removed. If it's a tank, it's a brick. Nunu is a perfect example, or Sejuani... take away what makes them fun and unique and make them bricks with one decent scaling stat. Anything but HP on either is useless.
The old skins and animations were better done and they even looked like they had definition or the ones meant to be comical WERE comical... all the redos are choppy, underdone animations and movements and skin redos that are just awful. Kayle's new look is beyond terrible.
What's really funny too is that Riot, Virtue Signals and all their reports are based around hate speech (or talking too much in general...) and they pretend their game is safe for all people (namely kids) but it's completely over-saturated in sex. Evelynn looks like she's riding a #$%& it's so inappropriate and every splash art now for a s skin with for a female character has to have giant t#$s showing on it to sell it. It reminds me of the hypocrisy of World of Warcraft and making every Horde race a non-Caucasian racial stereotype with racist jokes and jokes about how they stink and they're ugly built into their emotes/phrases. It's just stupid and hypocritical. Riot doesn't like language like "oh that guy got ****.." in game but every female in the game looks like a shameless French **** with the focal point of the art being T&A. They also have a lot of Devil s#$% and horns and Free Masonic symbolism in the art. It's just dumb. No one cares about your bigoted clubs. You can tell the artist is one. (I have them in my family I know all of it when I see it). The art concepts are terrible anyway. Just because you're a good technical artist doesn't mean you're a good artist. The concepts ****.
It's just bad these days. Beyond belief.
My girl friend and I, if we both liked a character over the years, it got changed and ruined. In looks, voice acting and abilities. Completely changed and stupid. League was something else in the past... and in the past it was fun and it WAS a strategic, team based tower defense game.
Now it's mortal combat for kids with a Care Bear security system built in that's totally Virtue Signaling but yet hypocritical based on the companies other content. Making the changes in the first place starting around 2013 was bad. I've even seen things start to be rolled back now, after a ton of changes over the years. They should seriously release the earlier version of this game separately, I guarantee more people would play it and enjoy it.
The most glaring issue in the game is the complete unbalance and the community that just doesn't give 2 s#$%& and a #$%@ about teamwork or performing their rolls.
Games end in 20 minutes or under anyway. It's just feeling like a constant waste of time. The matching is hideous. It's worse then it's ever been. You get teams that work together and do what they need to do and then another side where it's impossible to get an ADC to TOUCH enemies or poke or group or get a team in general to give a s#$% about what's going on in the game.
Another fact: Illoui can defeat a team of 5 alone with 2 or 3 items and win games solo. She's been ridiculous since the day she was conceived. Not even range can defeat her when tentacle swarms creating a mobile death field everywhere around her and she's a tank without even being tanked up that much. And the changes aren't even complete... summoner spell art thumbnails are still inconsistent in artwork... champs are still not updated leaving a small portion merely usable...
This game is near unplayable. It's general focus is overpriced, cheap content that's mass produced now and gamble boxes. Game be damned.

This multiplayer online battle arena, in general, is quite fun and addictive. "League of Legends" offers a vast variety of characters with over 140 champions to choose from, meaning it is entirely possible to discover someone who fits one's playstyle. Mastering said character comes with great rewards, and it is a sensational and challenging experience to utilize this champion in different scenarios.
This MOBA, as any other, comes with the components of strategizing and adapting. No two matches are the same, so accommodating to the current situation is just as crucial as weighing out priorities is.
Riot is also constantly updating "League of Legends", meaning that the game is ever-changing. New characters, skins, items, and game modes are released periodically, and some existing champions are instead reworked to fit the current layout of the game.
The company also does an acceptable job at handling the perpetually angry and demanding community. For example, if someone is being a bit of a handful during a certain match, this individual can be muted, which means that his/her messages will not be shown. After the match, players can report this person, and Riot personnel will revise these claims. If they find these accusations to be truthful, said player will be banned, and those who reported him/her will be rewarded accordingly.
Overall, I would highly recommend "League of Legends" as it is easily enjoyable due to its mechanics and constant adjustments, and, although the community can sometimes be stereotypically toxic and bothersome to deal with, the general thrill of the game and the fact that it is completely free to play smoothly make up for it.

Got suspended for unintentionally feeding with a 4.14 KDA in plat 1. People legit just report you if they lose so you get punished for doing nothing wrong. Support hasn't responded in over a day. This game needs it's tribunal system back. The new ranked system should be reverted. Jungle has been nerfed to the point where even Challenger junglers struggle to achieve a positive winrate. Autofill has turned into an outlet where people just grief your ranked games since they only lose 3lp from their main role they lose. This company keeps taking out and reworking the things that made their game good at one point. It'd be better if they introduced an oldschool LoL client that had balance decisions voted in by the community and had all the characters/runes unlocked to make the game competitive again. The game has turned into a joke since by the time you master anything to be good enough to play competitively Riot reworks builds, items, champions, and adds new ridiculously overtuned and frustrating champions/reworks to the game. They need to add the ability to permanently turn off chat, remove ping spamming and the question mark ping, and remove autofill. Tbh if they turned off chat for everyone except premades that would probably help the game become a lot less toxic. And ofc keep people muted in post game lobby.

A deep MOBA game, famous for its high learning skill curve, its well developed with a lot of champions with different style to choose from.
Game has no story since its multiplayer game.
The lore is fine.
Gameplay is fun with friends and even alone, Riot also adds mods once a while to keep the interest for non competitive gamers.
Biggest problem is the game is not new player friendly and suffers from a very very very bad tutorials, the community is toxic but that is irrelevant to the quality of the game.
I like this game but it doesnt have a high potential like other games.

Over the years League of Legends hasn't changed one bit. I honestly don't think there's another game out there in the world that has such a vile community, poor matchmaking system and terrible ranking system. The developers simply don't care and it's clear from the voice of players at the bottom that often get ignored but make up the bulk of players. 8/10 games you're placed with someone who is deliberately trolling, being rude or simply not cooperating and then this goes on to breed frustrated and toxic players. Once you're in a low rank, you're stuck there with no hope to get out.
The game is simply bad and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone or wants to keep their sanity.

un juego muy bueno dañado por dueños muy malos. Como resumir este juego en principio el cliente esta mal echo desde sus inicios nunca lo solucionaron, el juego no esta para nada optimizado y cumplirá 10 años, no hay balance en la mayoría de campeones. Des balancean y balancean a conveniencia dependiendo si sacaran una skin o campeón nuevo. Ya que la lógica es nerfeo a los campeones des balanceados y buffeo a los que están mal para tener un ciclo interminable. Ademas que siempre que hay nuevo campeón viene inevitablemente des balanceado para comprarlos. Los balanceo son tan ignorados para darle un paso a las dichosas skins que son las que convierten en un juego con compra de dinero real lo que hace que sea dañino para el mismo. Ni hablar del matchmaking que es incapaz de identificar niveles o si un jugador es bueno o no para determinada partida con compañeros de similar u o bajo nivel hablando en la parte jugabilistica. Sin mas un juego con muchos adornos pero que se dañan por la codicia de dinero en skins, eventos y marketing y no mas atención al juego e jugadores en general una verdadera pena para todos los que disfrutan de este juego año con año.

As someone who has enjoyed this game for many years, I can say that continuous change is what made me dislike it. While some changes were nice, a lot of times they come at the expense of removing things from the game. Like the countless reworks that completely remove a beloved champion from the game and adds a new one with the same name. Many enjoyable champions simple champions were changed overcomplicated samey champions that play nothing like the originals did. Now players like me are forced to pick other champions they don't enjoy. Personally I'm getting quite tired of seeing everything I like about the game get removed.

Once upon a time this game was quite good (like seasons 2-5, maybe even 2-3).
The game was interesting and there werent that much totaly broken champs.
What do we have for last 3 or even 4 years?
Right:
Worst community in mobas ever.
Dead penalty system.
Absolute absence of ballance.
Yasuo and set of buffed OP meta champs in every game, you cant pick any champ because all of the exept like 15-20 meta champs are complete **** and 90% lost game.
5. The game stoped being enjoyable, it became irritating. Riot Games are working hard on destroying everything you loved, everything you've enjoyed. Remember your items flexibility when you could go for Athma, Leviathan, Heart of gold, Force of nature, Death FIre and so on and you loved it? Remember many different old assassins like Fizz, LB, AP Master Yi, Shaco and many more that you loved? When tanks were actually tanks? Remember the flexibility when you had many fun with possibility of going full ap or ad on the same character (like old Master Yi and Ezreal) because we had many hybrid champs.
Do you remember? Yes? Now **** you because Riot Games doesnt allow any fun in games - we remowed everything fun and good you had. Now we will be telling all of our players how they should play every champ, what items you should buy (because basicaly there is no real options of what you can buy, each game you buy all the same items on the same character). Tanks cant go old good 700 armor and become mobile tower. All old champions (espeshially assassins) are nerfed so that they wont do any damage. Tons of CC, every second character have skills with stun or grab effect. Why you need skill when you can have eternal stun until you die because you cant do **** at all.
Just suffer through worst moba experience ever with the same set of OP meta champs and no choise in enything - Riot chose everything for you.
Farm until death for new champions and free skins and hope that League become better (but it never will).

Began playing in 2009, but had to step away constantly. Quickly I realized how many children and lackluster human beings were playing with me, and they dragged down the game. In fact they still do, and to top it all off, the endless number of champion characters to choose from are not only too much , but they greatly imbalance the game when a certain one can be defeated easily by dozens of others from the get go. Very weird. The system for reporting bad player behavior and trying to get support or changes implemented is the worst I have seen in decades of gaming. The company that makes the game, Riot, is just as cretinous as most of the player base, and little to nothing has improved in 8 + years time. The game kinda reels people in, but like a drug it becomes so hollow so fast. League offers nothing substantial or worthwhile and is a huge waste of time. I have never seen a game more worthless that the world could do without than this one. May it one day cease to exist.

No suelo juzgar a un juego por este tipo de cosas, y de hecho me gusta juzgarlos más que nada por su valor narrativo, técnico o visual, pero este juego es un caso único.
"League Of Legends" tiene uno de los conceptos más interesantes del genero, y los controles te dan una exploración amplia de estos conceptos. El diseño de los personajes no es tan bueno, pero tampoco se puede pedir mucho a este tipo de juegos. La jugabilidad es complicada al principio, pero conforme avanzas y conoces el juego logras tener un control instintivo sobre esta.... lamentablemente nada de esto cura al juego de su mayor cáncer.
La comunidad ha llenado el juego de hackers, así como también se ha llenado de gente toxica; desde los clásicos edgelords molestos hasta gente que simplemente arruina la jugabilidad y la inmersión del juego. Se llega a un punto en el que no se puede tolerar nada referente al juego, y esto arruina toda la experiencia.
Creó este juego necesita más atención, ya que los desarrolladores parecen haber abandonado a la comunidad y a pesar de que cada cierto tiempo ofrecen una actualización nueva .-que muchas veces resulta innecesaria- siguen sin resolver este tipo de detalles. Espero este tipo de cosas sean más cuidadas, y no pido censura, solo pido un control más grande en este tipo de juegos ya que estas cosas resultan elementales para un multi-jugador como este.

I cannot understand why there's still people defending this game, saying a bad community is not enough for bad rating.
As a multiplayer game, it is a fact that the whole community plays an extremely significant role on its quality, even if it was an AAA masterpiece (and clearly it is not) the average user is the core of the experience for all the other players.
The toxicity in this video game community have reached levels beyond the developers' control.

Dear Riot Games, thank you for all of your hard work on league of legends, but I have recently came upon a very odd problem... YOU CAN'T FREAKING MAKE NA ACCOUNTS ON THE OFFICIAL SIGHT! Even if you put in all the correct information, it will respond with a screen saying,"WHOOPS! YOUR SIGN UP HAS FAILED," after the captcha, with the only option following being a click-able taking you back to the start of the setup making you put all of your info again. Make no mistake that league is a fun and beautifully diverse characters, but, if you aren't able to play with the unique cast because of a sign up error, then is it really that great? For now, I give this game a six because, even though it is unplayable to me, it still looks very entertaining.

League of Legends(LOL) is one of the best MOBA in the world, It offers a lot of champions, beautiful skin concept, graphics are great, each champion has an unique gameplay. Is a nice game to play with friends, but some players are so Toxic and some times Riot games creates unbalanced champions.

Best to avoid this game, there is a lot to improve on and the community is mainly filled with people too angry about losing unfairly that they try to win in the next game, creating a cycle. Not many people actually enjoy this game and this game does nothing to relieve stress, rather, most people get more agitated and mad after playing.
Cons:
- Very negative and rude community. Will make fun of you for being new, bad, or simply for them playing bad themselves.
- Horrible glitches and hit-boxes make the game extremely irritating and annoying to play.
- Unforgiving team-based game where most of your team doesn't care and play selfishly, making you waste time and lose winnable games.
- Unfair point system where the enemy team can gain points and you will lose points because someone on your team left or purposely loses the game for the team.
- Matches are about 25-30 mins in average, a bit too long.
- You can get punished and lose points for having connection issues.
Pros:
- Art is well done.
- Not pay-to-win.
- Easy to find matches.
Overall on paper you can list anything you want but in the end it's still a game and what matters most is the overall experience. The overall experience is quite bad and do not recommend this game to anyone. I had a 12 year old cousin that play this is the community told her "her mom should aborted her" and "**** my ****" a bunch of times because she was new to the game.

I've played League for about three years now, I truly liked it at first but recently, it just grew more awful. Despite their major graphical improvements to the game, the game along with the client still has a load of bugs eating at me. The game's community is probably one of the worst, if not, the worst. Teammates constantly gnawing at you for not following them or trolling your games by giving themselves away to the enemy, and when, by normal human nature, you start getting angry, the company will punish you instead of the ones doing the wrong doings. I once even got permanently banned for doing absolutely nothing, I didn't even trash talk to other players the previous games or the previous day.
The reward system has also become really terrible. When loot boxes were first released, I was actually really excited because of the free skins, but now it seems they're giving more champion shards than skins, which just feels so disappointing.
Then you have the matching system, which is also fairly horrible as it pairs you up with teammates who are either relatively new to the game, or not good at it, then it proceeds to match you with enemies who are so much more experienced then you and your teammates which they will abuse a lot, leaving us at a huge disadvantage.
I honestly came to hate this game that I once like. A zero from me. I hate Riot Games.

League of Legends is a dynamic game which gets patched every two weeks. It's a free to play mobA developed by Riot Games. It has one of the biggest player base in the world and is well known in esport. Riot earns money by micro transactions which allows the player to only get cosmetic items to keep the game NOT pay2win.
It's my 4th season playing this game and have a solid rank (Platin) which is much better than the avarage rank.
Balancing and newbies:
Riot patches the game every two weeks to keep it fresh and prevents it for being boring. This is one of the reason why LoL is still so popular. Therefore some champions are overpowered and others are "kinda useless". That creates a meta wich switches over and over so the overpowered champions in the current patch are probably less stronger in the following patches.
For newbies: It becomes harder and harder from season to season to get in this game.
At the beginning you have to collect and experience much game knowledge to become bad from super bad. You need to play the game for many years to become metionable good in it. So don't get frustrated if you stay forever in silver or bronze. The rest isn't much better than you.
Community:
The community is one of the games biggest part. When I started the Matches were full of troller, inter (people who gave the enemy team advantages with the aim to lose the game), toxic players and afkler. This community changed totally. Today (season 8) there are still those people but much less than in the past and the rest of the community is really friendly and helpful.
The reason for that is probably the honor system which gives friendly and nice player free loot and cosmetic content while the toxic player gets (often) strongly punished for their bad behavior.
The influence to the company by the comunity is highly strong. They listen to their community and creating lore content by side the actual game.

I like that riot is finally taking steps to make the games community better But it feels like a to little to late scenario. after about 7 years they finally realize being called a ****, f*ggot, and more all game isn't fun. They have let their game become the 4 chan of the gaming community because the saying "trolling on 4 chan/lol is like pissing in an ocean of piss". Seriously the worst gaming community online anywhere.
The game play itself is pretty fun and the balancing isn't bad though they keep taking unique champs and either nerfing them into the ground or changing them to make them more like every other champ.
Another issue is how riot never listens to their player base. They have a web site with forums but they read reddit more than they read their own site. When they do post something it is often a lie, or information you could have gotten from a different site weeks earlier. (how bad is a company when their own web site is the worst place to get info about them...)
They started rotating special game modes every weekend but this has more to do with their servers being unable to handle the extra load when they would release gamemodes for special occasions. Every time urf came out the game would be completely unplayable for at least 3 days due to their servers crashing constantly. Riot seems completely unwilling to spend any money to upgrade the filthy american servers.
Their is really no way to pay for power which is probably the best thing about the game. With few exceptions the skins you buy do not really add any benefit to game play other than ascetics. The only way to really gain benefit is to buy some of the stronger champs when you are low level and beat up on noobs (a very common practice that riot has let fester to the point new players will be trolled at least 1 in every 3 games)
The game is fun but the company Riot has sabotaged it's own game to the point it is almost unplayable. Between the Horrible community, bad servers, bad connections to servers, a weird lag issue with comcast that only riot suffers from, the unwillingness from riot to listen to their players; I have to suggest people don't bother playing this game since it is much more frustrating than fun.

Having played League of Legends and watched eSports coverage of the game for years now, I am proud to finally give my review of this game. I absolutely love this game. It is constantly updated and it seems *mostly fair and balanced. If I had to rate this game based on it's content, I'd give it a 9. If I rated the developer, I'd give them an 7 or an 8. As far as the community however, the number of angry, flaming, trolling etc. players in the community (including in ranked matches) this game is rated as like 3 to 4. Those players, in my experience, are easily dealt with just by muting them. I've tried to kind of average out my rating based on those 3 factors. Since there's no 7.5, I'll round up because I have a love and appreciation for the game and give it an 8.
*Champions, upon release, are usually overpowered before being nerfed a bit later.

I've played for a few years now. At first it was pretty fun. It's easy to get addicted to this kind of gaming. However, I promise you that this is probably the biggest of time and money ever. It gets old very fast and I know lots of people who play because their friends play or they want to get their rank up, but in the end it's so pointless. Everything is the same cycle. Minions, kills, turrets, nexus. Each game drags on and the champions are unbalanced. It's not really a skill-based game but mostly luck -- especially in match-made games. It depends on who you have on your team and who's on the other team. It depends on whether you have a super scaling champion or one that's recently been boosted. Sometimes grievers on the other team afk and you have a free win. Sometimes it's your team. For beginners, I recommend not even starting. It's a waste of time and effort. Honestly, you'll regret playing. The community is definitely super rude and beginners who start playing pvp or ranked should be prepared to be trash talked like crazy. There's an obvious reason why this is dying down. I'm not even going to start on bugs, client crashes, and sudden disconnects. Overall, the terrible community of people you play with and the toxicity that players are exposed to proves that many players lose enjoyment during the course of this game and forget that league of legends is really just a game that should be enjoyed...since it's not very enjoyable.

É um bom jogo, você certamente gastará horas jogando - até porque as partidas duram entre 30 e 50 minutos - e de fato não chega a ser um fator negativo. Há uma grande variedade de campeões, distintos, com habilidades únicas, porém eles não são muito bem balanceados entre si, enquanto alguns morrem muito fácil, outros são imortais, e eu nem estou falando dos tanks, fator esse que prejudica na experiência do jogo. Outro fator negativo é a comunidade, muito tóxica, com muitos trolls, e que pouco é feito contra eles. Porém um fator positivo é a facilidade de ganhar itens sem precisar pagar por eles, campeões, skins, icones, sentinelas; tudo ganho em baús ou como forma de gratificação por bom comportamento, bem diferente de jogos que para ganhar você tem que pagar. Uma dica importante é mutar o chat para todos, você joga sem se estressar com jogadores que querem o seu mal.

The game is impossible to enjoy as a new player with the massive influx of smurf accounts from higher level players. Only a small fraction of the heroes are actually viable (the game has 130+ heroes, ofc it's not balanced). Overall it's just not fun, it's frustrating and does not lend itself to new players. I shouldn't have to spend 8 hours on youtube to play a video game lol.

Review/Reseña (English/Español)
Score/Nota: 6.0/10
The massive multiplayer has never been my specialty, but with LOL I've been around 300+ hours since I discovered it a couple of years ago and I think "the time has come".
The greatest virtue of LOL is that it can give direct fun to both novice players and people looking for a real challenge, because although it is simple to understand their game concept, it is incredibly complex to master it. Graphically it is similar to several games of its kind, so it does not stand out, musically it goes unnoticed and in terms of content it is quite poor (even with its immensity of characters) since it only has practically one game mode and one map (except few exceptions).
In spite of everything, it ends up being a product that offers what the player asks for and is fun, beyond its poor overall content, it gets people to stay playing, which is a merit to be taken into account. 6.0/10
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Los multijugadores masivos nunca han sido mi especialidad, mas con LOL llevo aproximadamente unas 300+ horas de juego desde que lo descubrí un par de años atrás y creo que “le llegó la hora”.
La mayor virtud de LOL es que puede dar diversión directa tanto a jugadores novatos como a personas que buscan un verdadero reto, ya que aunque es simple entender su concepto de juego, es increíblemente complejo dominarlo. Gráficamente es similar a varios juegos de su tipo por lo cual no destaca, musicalmente pasa desapercibido y en cuanto a contenido se queda bastante pobre (aun con su inmensidad de personajes) ya que solo cuenta con prácticamente un modo de juego y un mapa (salvo contadas excepciones).
A pesar de todo, termina siendo un producto que ofrece lo que el jugador pide y es diversión, más allá de su contenido pobre en líneas generales, logra que la gente se quede jugando, lo cual es un mérito a tomar en cuenta. 6.0/10

It is 2017 and League of Legends is still basically the same game as it was in its induction into the world of MOBA platforms. Yes, at one time, this was the most played game in the world and the pool of prizes for professionals was greater than any competitor MOBA. Today at the start of season 8, this game is horribly designed and is overly protective of its community.
If you're a toxic player - listen up - this is not the game for you. Get mad, start to become overly critical of another player or your team who might be letting you down and you're likely to get trolled/ flamed and then reported to your entire team. I have spent thousands of hours and at least a $1000 between multiple accounts, all of which today have been simply permanently banned over communications. There is no native in-game chat, so you're basically forced to communicate through text, if not through a 3rd party program, but unless you're able to coordinate pregame you're only able to text. Get mad and say the 'wrong' words and your account will get banned. You cannot speak your mind about stupidity and just the overly excessive ban happy players will try to get your account banned all because of communications - bad or good.

I am an avid League of Legends player and been playing since Season 3. League of Legends is fun and challenging. Not only does this game challenge the physical side by using the keyboard and mouse, it challenges the mental aspects as well. Every decision you make in-game will make an impact. League of Legends is a competitive based game that requires both teamwork and individual skill. With a ranking system implemented, players are able to compete against others and climb the ranking ladder.
There are over 134 Champions available to play and each champion have unique skills. Players can find and master their preferred playstyle.
Pros and cons.
Pros-
-100% Free-To-Play
-Team based gameplay
-End of Season Ranked Rewards
-Champion variety
-Different roles
-Competitive E-sports and Pro-scene.
Cons
-Learning curve ( I personally like the learning curve because of its competitive atmosphere. The more you play and learn, the better you become at the game.)
-Community is not good.
-Random trolls who ruin the competitive experience.
-Balance issues
-Riot is starting to cater toward casual players. (Just think of how competitive Bungie's Halo trilogy was. Then out of nowhere Halo: Reach is released and it's pretty casual. Then 343i turned Halo 4 completely into a casual snooze fest. No skill involved.)
For example, Riot decided to make Dragon spawn with random buffs. Also, making plants spawn in random locations throughout the map. (The developer who designed the Plant System and the Jungle changes was a low ranked player trying to make it easier for low skilled players to compete against higher skilled players.)
The game is still competitive, but I think they might be moving toward casual players.
Overall, I think League of legends is incredible. I recommend anyone looking for a competitive free to play PC game.
10/10
EDIT!!!!
With the addition of "Runes Reforged" League has become fully casual game. No competitive aspects to the game anymore... Random based runes should not be in a competitive game, period. However, Riot has implemented RNG elements into the game reducing the skill gap. Since there's no skill gap, low level players can equally compete against higher skilled players. (No Skill Gap)So, I have dropped my rating from 10/10 to 0/10. This game is not recommended.

I use to love this game when I first started but now.
Worst game ever! The support staff just don't no what they are doing, they make up rules as they go alone. I have tried to make complain, but they don't take complains. The matchmaking in this game is going down the pan and Riot staff don't want to listen or care about this. The community is mostly toxic and just fling abuse at each other. When you try reach out to Riot to complain about the problems you get ignored.
I dunno how they think they can run a business the way that they do. The support staff do 0 to help just say we no how it feels. You cant get to speak to anyone else at Riot because you just get ignored. They don't do feedback or want to pass ideas on because they "cant do that". All that Riot care about is making as much money as possible and not care about balancing the game, fixing matchmaking and balancing champs
What a joke of a business!!!

In a nutshell: Creatively bankrupt and a shameless cash-in.
LoL was the introduction to the LOMA/MOBA/ARTS genre for a huge amount of gamers, and for that it deserves at least a modicum of respect. It's a serviceable adaptation of DOTA with some quality of life improvements that were sorely needed back when DOTA was still a WC3 mod and Heroes of Newerth was still in development.
However, in the current age of Dota 2 and HOTS, there is literally no reason to play this game. Dota offers a significantly deeper and more balanced experience, with a totally unlocked hero roster, in exchange for a barely steeper learning curve, while HOTS gives players that want a more casual alternative a faster, more exciting distillation.
There are also seriously shady things about Riot's development of League -- for example, the fact that one of Riot's early employees had control of a major community forum for DOTA, including a subforum for hero ideas, that was shut down shortly after the development of League started. Surprise surprise, many of the hero ideas that were in that thread found themselves incarnated as League heroes a couple years later. It's very clear that Riot has no original ideas of their own, and instead is devoted to just wringing as much money out of the concepts of DOTA as possible.
For me, the single fact that the hero roster is not available equally to all players kills the game (as it does HOTS). For proper balance in a Dota clone, you need the ability to pick from all the characters. But even if that weren't the case, there is literally no reason to play League instead of Dota. The only reason more people haven't made the switch is the sunk costs fallacy: once you've invested money into League, or any game, it becomes a lot harder to justify abandoning it.

Pretty fun competitive game with decently high skill ceiling and interesting champions. Balancing is mostly good considering how much there is to balance, major mistakes happen but are quickly fixed by frequent patches. Community is bad, sure, but not worse than other competitive multiplayer games. People get wrapped up in the competition, tilt and say whatever they want because it is the internet and there are no consequences. It is a problem though but I don't see any other game doing as much against it as lol does. I wouldn't advise to play lol exclusively, play other games to cool down.

League in its entirety is a great game. Nice mechanics, great characters with a nice background, a fairly sufficient gaming community. The problem with this game is that it isn't something you should play with by yourself. Just like Super Smash Bros., you kind of need friends to play alongside with otherwise it gets old real quick and the players tend to be jacka**es. The payment for the characters as well as some of the in-game items are fair but sometimes it can be a little overpriced. My advice: don't pay real money for this game. People are getting way too addicted to a game that is just SUB-PAR. Good Luck and Good Clashing!!!!

This game was a good game to play then it started getting worse and worse with the amount of flame, toxic, perverts. Being a female gamer as well you experience ALOT of sexual harassment on here and its ridiculous. The report system is broken and does not work how it was made to. Riot do not give chances to people either, they just permanently ban your account even if you were just defending yourself against sexual harassment. The community is just shocking. I genuinely think riot need to fix their community and game and allow players to keep playing that they have permanently banned just to keep bad reviews from happening or to keep money coming. Since how bad they are people can just tell others to leave the game or to never play the game due to the community and people who run the company.

Terrible game... It represents everything wrong with the gaming world in all honesty. It's a cheap free to play micro transaction game of unbalanced and boring rpg elements. The fact that people take this game seriously on a competitive level is a complete joke.

Almost everyone one i know has this game and can run it on almost anything and thats great because i can play this any time of the day and i always have a friend IRL that is also playing and its the only game i have in my computer that i know almost everyone is playing so its also a great conversation starter.

The game itself is very fun, though it has a rough start to most new players, once you get the hang of things, the game can be very rewarding with intense matches or hours of enjoyment.
Although the community isn't the greatest, that shouldn't be mixed with how you review the game or look on the game. The toxicity of the league community is definitely frustrating, although all games have people like that, and like most games league provides a mute button.
With all the pay to win business, there isn't really much of it. The only things that you could buy are champions or runes, both of which you can get for free without the element of luck, gamers these days don't want to work for better gameplay, they expect to get it from the start, but where's the fun in that.
The game like all MOBA's has a difficult learning curve, but if you choose to pick up this game, you would enjoy it, as long as you stick with it for a while all of the toxicity will be something you're used to. Don't go off all the reviews, due to DOTA and LOL's community war, some DOTA fans just want to diss League.

Overhyped MOBA, does not promote skill but rather picking the easy path with lock on skills that does not miss. Worst part about League of Legends is the community management - endless toxicity no matter what level of ranking you sit at, slow response to critical issues such as the Hydra crash and Blade of the Ruined King bug existed for YEARS before they were acknowledged and fixed.

Toxicity, flaming, trolling sums up the community.
I have played this for four years now on and off and have noticed the community get worse and worse over the years and the developer doing nothing about it. The game has a report function which is great but when 9 games out of 10 you get reported for no apparent reason it becomes tiresome.
Now the game has a large competitive worldwide stage with large sums of money going into the game through sponsors and normal people trying to get to the top tier of the game they have no interest in making the game playable for anybody below the top two tiers.
If any sponsors decided to actually look at the game below the stage and streaming games they will see how rotten the game has become and the sheet the developer has put over it in an attempt to hide it.
The game play and graphics are good for a free game but if you are there to make friends then look elsewhere.

Sure it has a great art style but Riot has shown that they clearly don't want you to play this game forcing arbitrary grind and paywall requirements for new players in one of the most stupid and greedy monetary systems for a free to play game I have ever seen. Unlocking a single champion will take several hours of grind if you plan on playing all but the most basic of champions and the completely redundant requirement to grind xp and currency to earn runes which directly affect your chances of winning is appalling as it will take you over 50 hours of grinding to get on a equal playing level to the rest of the community if you don't invest in overpriced xp and currency boosts. How this game could possibly attract any new players dumbfounds me.

Riot permabans left and right people that have wasted huge amounts of money(instead of disabling privileges like the chat) for just flaming IN A GAME and ignore more important the real problems that ruin the game which is the rage quitters and those that ruin the games by dying on purpose(intentionally feeding) to the enemy team. Riot will try to milk money away form you with every possible way. Punishes, permabans, runes, stupid skins etc they sure as hell will find a way.
I recommend not starting the game. I give a 2 only because the game design and gameplay are in a really good level.

If you like the game, you will want to get better and better until you are the best. This is what keeps everyone hooked on this game for years. Gameplay is good. Game can induce rage when you face opponents way better than you, or when your teammates are too bad. Losing is humiliating. Also, the lore is good, but you have to search for it on the internet. Only start playing this game if you have a good, controllable temper.

An above average game. Basically it's casual dota. It's like the call of duty of mobas. It's fun, it's fast, easy to get into, but it's just not that deep. I would rate it higher if you didn't have to buy so many champions. There's so many champions now and they're always releasing more it's almost impossible for a player just starting out to get them all without sinking a lot of money into the game.
I wouldn't say it's the best moba, but if you've tried a few and this one feels right, it's a pretty good game but don't be confused, it is NOT free to play. If you wanna play at any sort of level you'll most likely end up investing a good amount of money into the game.

I think now a days is a really nice moba to enjoy, but the game is too long for a lossing match so it not enjoyble lossing a damn competitive game, so i think it must have new maps which game is less in game time, but still the aram map isn´t good at all. all though i think the bad community is kind of myth, just mute the chat, and all fixed. and the leaver buster inst working as it have to be working.

One of the best Game turned into one of the worst and i really mean it. Playing the Game from Season 2 on. Was Diamond 3 at highest in ranked (Season 5). Each Year the Game gets worse and even more worse.
The Reworks, Buffs and Nerfs are so random and misplaced its insane. Riot is wondering why players quit? Yeah thats the reason, they should've let the Game at that state where it was in Season 5.
Cannot recommend to play this Game at all anymore.

Downright amazing game. I find it a bit ridiculous that most of the people giving this game bad ratings are only focusing on one thing: the community. And yeah, since I've played the game for a while I'll admit that the community is not exactly the most welcoming one ever, and yeah it's kinda toxic compared to some other games, but most of the matches that I've been in don't involve any arguing or toxicity. Sure, I've seen a few flame wars now and then, but for the most part the players in the match are mellow.
But enough of all that. Of course, you want to know why I am such a big fan of this game. I will enlighten you of that right now.
So League is a MOBA game about tactics, strategy, and cooperation among teammates. The gameplay in a match seems pretty slow at first, but toward the end of the game it gets very intense and fast-paced. Multiplayer matches usually last 30-50 minutes, unless you're in a very high-ranking league.
Now for the champions. "Champion" is just another name for the playable characters you play as in matches. And one of the things I love about League is that they have the biggest, most massive, diverse roster of playable characters to choose from, and what's more, the developers are constantly adding more characters to the roster. As the developers have said before, whatever way you want to get things done, there is a champion out there to go with it. In fact, one of the funnest parts of playing League is just trying out new champions and seeing what awesome abilities they have at their disposal for you to use.
There is a variety of other things I should cover in League, But I'll let you find that out when you start playing.
So overall, League is an amazingly crafted, insanely fun and obsessive masterpiece of a MOBA game, which is currently the most played online game in the entire world and is also completely free to play.

This game is the epitome of a cash grab. They frequently rotate champion power-levels so you keep spending money, and the balance is a joke. The lower tier champions (e.g. Urgot, Atrox, and Teemo) are almost unplayable in a competitive environment. They frequently blow champions out of proportion when they buff them. Every patch, there are must-pick champions. Farming enough points to purchase them is beyond tedious. I think it took me a month of persistent farming to have enough for a ‘tier 1’ champion.
The community is trash. The players are homogeneously obnoxious and stubborn 12 year olds, and communicating with them is exasperating. The lower bracket is littered with afks, laggers, and leavers. Dota 2 amazingly has a better community. Rarely ever do I meet flamers. The only trade-off is that you are often are matched with non-native English speakers, but they are generally quiet.
I was able to reach diamond (top 1%[?]) in only half a year. If you want a high-skill cap MOBA game, just play Dota 2.

I'll put this straight. This game is a complete joke in terms of teamplay and ranked matches are way worse. Gets you addicted initially when you have a winning spree, but the drawback of this gamble is that you lose more games than winning. You will eventually experience more losing streaks than you ever know, no matter how advanced you are.
Play only when your friends or ranked team ask you to, otherwise don't waste your life in this trash moba. I enjoy HoTS more than this. I used to invest my time in this game more than anything else so that I can improve and achieve a more professional level, but ranked ELO queue has not been fixed ever since S4. I don't care what other people comment about the positive things of ranked games. I personally don't agree with the balanced MMR that Riot has implemented. Even in normal games, where players normally practice and have fun, are all over the place when feeders, afkers or lane throwers exist, taking the whole game which is supposed to end in twenty minutes up to an hour. It's even worse when a winning game turns to a losing one because someone potentially throws!
Toxic community is another thing. I'm also a foul talker sometimes but within legitimate reasons. Almost every MMO gaming community has uncountable numbers of toxic players, but the ones I've encountered in LoL are laughably idiotic or arrogant. Teammates or opponents, don't matter, they are pretty much all the same. This is something you can easily detect in most matchmakings, so go figure.
Lastly, which is my biggest face-palm disappointment, is the company Riot itself. Riot doesn't know anything about player-base reality. The supports are useless and almost never look into reasonable appeals. They don't tolerate anything out of the grey and execute things only through their **** code of conduct. They have poor community speculations and are late on immediate actions. They take a year to do player behavioral inspection, which is absolutely **** They take away things that you have worked so hard to earn over the course of the season due to their unexplained accusation or whatever fancy violations they take so seriously about. They stripped away my rank status aside from temporary ban because they thought I MMR boosted when I shared account with my distant relative. Up until this point, I'm still very pissed of their decisions.
There are plenty better moba games outside of this **** I used to have a highschool friend working for Riot so I rated this game a medium score for the sake of respect, but now we no longer are friends, so I'm dropping the score way lower this time. My fun times on this game is over. Time to move on with my life.
ps. With all due respects, f*** you Riot Azure Day

I've been playing this game since 2010, and for the first 4 years I avidly played it but now I barely play once a week. I can say for those first few years the game always felt new and engaging, now it sadly doesn't. I think back then I would've rated the game 9 or 10, now as I'm quite worn out on it I would only rate it a 5 or 6. I'm going to settle with an 9 though, for the following reason:
Game play: 7
Replayability: 10
Balance: 8 (not Dota levels of good, but most all characters are viable at the normal player level)
Community: Not taken into account as the community never should be, it's not part of the damn game, the game makers didn't plan it!

Worst game I have ever played becasue of it's unbalanced gameplay and horrible community. I expected that it will be better at higher ranks (like platinum and above) but surprisingly it's not better. I'm Platinum IV and the game (my team) is still full of toxic and braindead feeders who doesn't even know the very basics of the game and/or champions. I gave up. If you think you will be better in this game - you won't, because your team will be mostly full of **** who draw you back. This game is cancer. Don't play it unless you are a mazoist.

Love it or hate it, League of Legends is simply the best competitive MOBA experience in the gaming world with over 100 million active players monthly. This game evolves and adapts, as careful balancing from the developers attempts to ensure the highest level of competition at all levels. The skill cap for this game is high. Players will invest hundreds of hours developing mechanical skills and team strategies to win and climb the ranks. Players who aren't up to the challenge usually leave frustrated and bewildered. Players who rise to meet the challenge find riveting gameplay and likely the greatest test of their gaming abilities to date. If you're a true competitive gamer, League is highly recommended.

Let me be straight with this. I used to LOVE this game. However, that was years ago and it has gone downhill really fast. First they tried to balance around the highest skill level and scared off all the casual players. Then the messed up balancing trying to appeal to a larger audience and even the pros are all sick of Riot.
Riot is also owned by Tencent which is just evil and greed incarnate. The game is designed in a way that challenges you and seems really fun and appealing, but in reality it's a trap. The community is the most toxic one I've ever encountered. Teamwork is essential, but no one wants to work together. The banning system is a joke. The ranked system is mess filled with boosters and smurfs. Their coding is completely made out of spaghetti. They just keep putting out broken **** to try and make more money. **** this game, and **** this company.

Literally a cash-grab at this point by company Ten-cent. This game will pull you in with it's matches where you can play, have a good time with friends, and gradually work you up until you hit their beloved rank 30. After which, the game turns into a series of micro-transactions and abusive relationships. Tencent, and Riot games are infamous for creating overly-powered characters so that you buy them the first day they come out, only to have said character nerfed into the ground in a later patch, it's exactly like selling a child candy. They buy something that is gone in less than a few moments for a large chunk of change. This company has earned itself a reputation as one of the most hated and Demon-Like corporation to this day.

Stay away from this game. While the MOBA itself is pretty great, it's everything surroundning it that makes it sh-ite tier. The community is without a doubt the worst you'll ever face. Their matchmaking is supbar and you'll either face too easy or too hard players for you. Their balance consists of introducing something that breaks certain champions - and by the time they fix this, they'll have introduced something new that breaks other champions again.
It'll just make you angry.

Pros:
- Always updating, so the game doesn't get old.
- Good artwork, voice acting and graphics
- Good game mechanics and tactics. You can see clearly why good players are good.
- Not pay to win.
- Skins are nice xd
- Ultra rapid fire mode (sometimes, but I think it's a good thing that it's just sometimes)
- There's this non-competitive mode that it's actually fun (ARAM), the regular mode you just have fun if you win.
Cons:
- Most of the community is salty as f*ck and arrogant
- Bad game engine, you could do more things if they updated their game engine but I may be wrong, it's not much of my area.
- They could update better some things and shouldn't make so many promises (teemo, warwick, yorick, e t c ), just do it man.

After interacting with this game I have endured headaches, and angry conversations about meaningless jive to the extent that I feel stupider and less faithful in the light than ever before in my life over the sake of people who are not involved with me or my life in any way shape or form nor do they have the authority to take it from me via belief altercations and definitions unrelated to insight or purpose, cause or causality or even related to anything scientific or justifiable. Due do these being directly caused by having connected with this game I am lead only to believe that my life is made worse for having it involved what so ever. In the event that I return it would be under much deliberation and much regret. Your network is flawed and audible communications and contracts have nearly damned me a second time over, my religion has been shaken and it has nothing to do with your characters. I have lost my language because of this interaction and I am furious that I happened to decide to be involved with you in the first place. To assume that I or anyone related to me is honored, or otherwise not insulted or dishonored by the society involved in this game is a disgrace of my personal and all integrity involved. Delete my account or I will be forced to take action in various ways. Delete my account for the sake of your honor, as it has stripped me of yet another leg to my spider, rendered me incapable of flying etc. If my contract survives and I am not rebirthed by the graces of God then I have nothing to say and it will never be enough.

When you look for a new game to play, you don’t settle for the little games. You play a game that everyone has experienced, talked about, or played. With over twenty-seven million players daily, League Of Legends made by Riot Games is the number one MOBA (Multiple Online Battle Arena) in today’s time. This game suits any gender, race, or, ethnicity. It’s easy to learn, and every single game is guaranteed a fun time. Along with all those fantastic attachments, the game is free to play, and virtually any PC or Mac is able to run this beautiful game.
League like most MOBA’S attract to the five versus five gameplay on its main arena Summoner’s Rift. It’s brightly blue colored and designed with three lanes leading up to each-others base. Pick a lane to go and you’ll battle against other players from all over the world with various skill levels and other characters. With the strategically placed bushes you can hide in it and pop out to scare and attack your enemies. There’s also a jungle on each sides of the map for each team. These jungles are filled with NPC (Non–Player Character) monsters in which you can go and farm up gold and get various buffs. There’s always a contemplating feeling to risk going into the enemies jungle and stealing their buffs. The unconscious fears that an enemy lurks just moment’s away makes your pulse race. This strategy, being more useful than killing the entire other team; you can kill their jungle and drain the other team from additional gold. This simple gameplay is fun; strategic and overall it never gets boring no matter how much you think it would.
There are many objectives to this simple MOBA game. You can go destroy the large blue enemy turrets, or you can help increase your characters strengths by getting various dragons that help specific stats to your champion. Or you can slay the big purple worm monster, which is called Baron Nashor. He gives your champion and minions huge buffs in health, damage, and size. The buff makes the game easier to win, but don’t be fooled, if you’re not strong enough to take on Baron Nashor; you will be slain by him.
From Jinx a psychopathic pig tailed rocket loving maniac, or Annie, a frightening little girl who’s a pyromaniac that has various fire abilities; there are 117 characters to play as. These champions, as the League Of Legends community calls them, have so many memorable quotes and bright colors and each character has a personality that you will fall in love with. You will more than likely find a specific character that you will mainly play. These champions can be bought at two to eight dollars a piece, or there’s an option to buy them with in game currency that’s easy to acquire. The more you play, the more points you to get put towards characters. On top of all that, League Of Legends has a rotating champion pool in which every week there are ten free-to-play characters you can choose and try a few matches with. You really get a feel for most if not all the characters through this rotating character pool.
For additional detail, you can buy skins for all the champions. They can get to be a little pricey, but they’re definitely worth it. Some can be as two dollars, while others can range up to be twenty dollars. The pricier the skin the more additional particles, graphics, and spell move changes there are. My “Spirit Guard Udyr” skin changes the entire way he looks and how all of his spells sound, look, and he even has additional voice over quotes. Those skins don’t change your gameplay experience or give your character additional buffs. Once you’re sick of looking at the same old character game after game; you can pick skins from thirty dollars to as low as two dollars a piece. They aren’t required and you can still play the game free of cost by downloading it on ****.
Each match lasts thirty to forty minutes, which you may say that’s a long time, but you’re consumed by various objectives, team fights, and just in general playing the game; time flies, before you know it an hour has passed. Matches usually start slow and work their way up to fast paced, action packed, fest of non-stop battles against other champions. For the most hectic of all fights; all players on both teams fight each other all at the same time until the last man stands. The players that live through the team fight will more than likely storm the losers’ base, and take the victory.
What keeps League Of Legends so refreshing is that it is split into seasons, like your favorite TV show, they throw a plot twist in it. Every eight months Riot Games changes almost everything about the game. They change items, the jungle; basically every season you have to re-learn the game and adapt yourself to whatever changes the company has made. It keeps players coming back every season to check what’s new and see what improvements have been made.
Overall, League Of Legends is a fast paced, hectic fest, and I will be playing this game for years to come.

A game for kids, made by grown-up kids. I stopped playing this game for a year (community reasons) and I comeback to see that the thing changed... for worse. There are more kids, there are more trolls, etc..
The worst thing? You can get banned for saying "bad stuff". You can't even express yourself in this game because if you say something bad you might get banned.
Well. They should ban people for trolling, hacking, etc.
Also the nerf and buff problem is HUGE. The game is always based on which character is the best atm and every game you see that character or it's "banned".

My list descending in personal priority concerning negative and positive aspects:
Negative:
1. The company seems very greedy, there are nearly no improvements for the community as a whole
2. The actual development method makes the game game feel more and more insubstantial
3. Some changes and "updates" are not really reasonable, most balancing-attempts go wrong
Positive:
1. Free to play, people cannot buy true advantages via money
2. A lot of variety thanks to a lot of content (at least in terms of champions)
3. The laddering system works quite fine
I give 5 out of 10 points because it sometimes is quite funny to play, but while it might help smashing spare time, there are not really reasons why I would see more in this game than an average title with more content than soul.
If this review was helpful to you, please let me know!

-Gran facilidad para aprender a jugar, con un buen equilibrio entre simplicidad y complejidad debido a la gran cantidad de campeones disponibles.
-Partidas frenéticas pero a la vez pueden llegar a ser bastante extensas.
-Como punto negativo el que no haya diferentes mapas para un mismo modo de juego, su sencillez hace que todo tipo de jugadores pueda jugar, por lo que es un arma de doble filo.
La comunidad en líneas generales es bastante mala debido a que los insultos y ofensas en medio de las partidas, ya sean normales o de clasificación están a la orden del día.

League of Legends is an okay-ish RTS game, especially for those new in the genre. It's just that there ain't too much of a difference between characters, play styles, effects, buffs, skills, and whatnot. I find it having a significant lack of "variety" between its game play elements.

This game was fun when it launched but not now. Heroes are mostly rip-off from DotA, making it looks like an alternative version of it which made for kids.

This game was an amazing game to have introduced to you. You had so many characters to choose from to master and you at least had one connection with one of the champions from start. It is fairly easy to learn and get used to at the beginning (though the tutorial could use a bit of work). I've played this game for 4 years now, and this whole game is normally a problem as soon as you hit level 30
I will start with the ranked system. This game has the most horrible ranked system I have ever seen. The ranked system is basically you play a game and if you win, your score goes up about 20 points. You lose, you go down about 15 points. Before you hit an actual rank, you will have to do 10 matches to determine where you should end up. Pretty simple right? Not really. With the addition of how horrible this community is for this game (and I mean horrible), there is a very low chance that you will not have an issue in your ranked game. People fight over stealing kills, others making mistakes, others losing lane, having internet or FPS lag, ect... The stuff never stops and all it does is ruin everyone.
This leads to my next topic, hardware issues. If you have the heart for this game but have really bad internet or a really bad computer, I highly recommend NOT to get or play it anymore. If you can't afford a decent PC or internet that is good enough to hold this game not effecting your playing, than you cannot play this game. You will only be blamed for it and nobody will cut you some slack. Though that is technically your fault, sometimes people can't afford to get what the average league player needs. The enemies also don't care either so they will take any chance they have to kill you whether its fair or not.
And that leads me to my next issue, dignity. In higher elo's is when this game is actually how it should be. But only 10% of the players that play this game are actually that good (Platinum, Diamond, ect...) and over 60% of the players who play this game are in the lower elo's (Silver and Bronze). It is what they call "Elo Hell" that is what's in this part of ranking. Elo hell is people hurting each other trying to get up to the top and will do whatever it takes, whether its fair or not.
Though the champions are really stunning and have awesome costumes and backstories to look into, their playstyles sometimes makes you want to hate them till no end. There is never a time when a champion can't be unbalanced. It is always people using the strongest champion at the moment, just to win. No heart for the champion, just "play to win". In ranked you do have bans yes, but either its not enough bans to have or its the fact that a person got destroyed by a person using a skilled champion that is highly unused, and just didn't want to see it ever again. The game is never balanced enough for the lower levels and that is completely unfair to 60% of the people who play this game. In higher elo's, every character is fairly used, and that is because they know every champion inside and out (essentially saying that they played this game non-stop). If a champion is "broken" or "overpowered" at the moment, people pick it to win it. That's not dignity, it's just how the game works unfortunately.
The shop can be another problem. Every champion in the game requires a certain amount of in game money or actual money. Depending on how new the champion is, is how much he/she will be in the store. This makes you want to keep playing constantly so you learn one champion after another. Some champions are so low of cost though that it can take one game to have enough (unfortunately those are starting characters that are normally banned half the time because they are ridiculously strong and easy to use). Champions might be one thing, but skins are another. You need to buy the champion before the skin, but after playing for a while, you would want to buy a costume for your favorite character. In my opinion, they are overpriced. You can sit there, pay 10 to even 30 dollars just for a different color of that champion that did nothing but make you feel like your cool (You won't be unique and stand out because everyone that reaches level 30 at least has one skin.
This game has a lot of pros to it such as bringing you and your friends together, winning games a lot can reward you highly, there is a lot to explore, champions look awesome and have cool stories to look into, and even gameplay can be easy to get used to, but it's internet or PC requirements, horrible community, un-balancing, overpriced store, and even the loss of the one thing people rarely have in this game, dignity, makes this game an easy 5/10, 6/10 at the most.
I've played this game for 4 years, so you cannot say I am not experienced enough to write this. I was in my promos to Gold 3 last season so I know how tough this game can actually be. My account name is Mantis God, and I main Kha'Zix, Thresh, Vel'Koz, and Kassadin.

League of legends is a MOBA style game that at first seems like it has a lot to offer. The gameplay is pretty solid and aside from the weekly updates the servers are almost never down. They have come a long way since they first started and when I started playing (somewhere around 6 years now) and have made many improvements to the stability of the game.
A lot of people complain about the community and while it is true that it may be one of the most hostile communities that I have ever been a part of, this is very easily countered with the mute button and ignoring toxic players.
The real key issues that I have with the game are the way that the game matches players. If you play poorly for enough games and your win loss ratio drops low enough, you will be matched against the absolute worst players that the game can find in order to even out. That makes sense from a business standpoint because you want your customers to stick around and not get mad when they can't win a game. However, if you win a few games the pendulum swings so far in the opposite direction that it is near impossible to win a match no matter how good you and your team play. After several thousands of games I noticed that the key number was +40 and -10. this becomes frustrating for veteran players who just want to play a few good matches against even opponents and not worry too much about a w/l ratio.
The second issue that I have with the game is a catch 22. The game is constantly being updated and the devs are making slight tweaks to the game twice a month or more. While this may seem like a good thing at first it really has become a hassle. Aside from changing many of the champions and tweaking damage ratios the devs have decided to completely rework some of the champions. This is also frustrating because people like myself tend to enjoy sticking to certain play styles and builds, but every few weeks I have to almost relearn an entire game. For example a few months back when you played a tank champion you played him as just that, a bullet sponging heavy hellbent on soaking up as much damage as you could while not putting much damage back on the field. This all changed recently and now the key to winning is rolling a few tanks and building them as tanks, then completely and utterly running over everything in your path because the damage output has to "reflect the damage potential of all the characters." So now instead of building a strong attack champion I am stuck trying to counter the damage from the tanks which of course puts me in a huge dilemma, because now I can't build the damage to hurt them.
So in conclusion, League of Legends is a game that most people can pick up and play and probably enjoy for some time, but eventually you will start to notice all of the little downfalls of the game. The only way to avoid the hassle is to play ranked, which is probably the most toxic part of the community. Your best bet is to get a few friends together and play solely with them. The game is fun and I enjoy playing it but the recent changes and the direction that I see the game going are pushing me farther and farther away.
TL;DR - LoL is fun, but unfair to most players.

Have played this game for four fxxxing years. I feel so bad about this game. No improve for the sxxtty client, no clan system, no banning system. If you get a troll, you will suffer for freaking 30-40 mins. Don't play it, if you are worried about your health. This game will give you cancer.

Let's face it, the only good thing about league of legends is that there's a lot of players, more than in any other game, and scaling the rankings is satisfying. Besides that, the game is very poor visually right now and was even more poor when it came out in relation to the other video games of that time. Funny champions are most of the time extremely expensive, kinda forcing you to pay real money for them. The laning phase is extremely boring, and basically it's a bad ripoff of Warcraft 3's mod Dota all-stars. The rune and mastery system is boring and unnecessary... Can't find many good things about the game.

Where to start.
League of Legends offers so many things as a game, both good and bad.
The balance isn't always the best in League of Legends. In a multiplayer game, you should win because you are good at the game and not because you were the first to get a strong champion or use an overpowered move. It's not always a big deal, but it can be.
If you want to play to compete, League of Legends is good. It is more complex than meets the eye. Some say it is easier to play than Dota, and those people are right. It's easier to play, but I would say, it just as hard to master as the other MOBA games. The game being easy isn't a bad thing. Dota is hard to get into, whereas League of Legends is better for newer players in terms of gameplay.
However, terms of playing with other people, League of Legends is definitely not a friendly game. People who write to you in chat are harsh and rude and don't care about you. There are easy solutions to these problems, instead of just whining about it. You can play with friends. Friends who are chill. Friends that are not **** This improves the game experience immensely. Another thing is using the mute button in game and mute all other players.
Watching League of Legends is boring, I admit. The little details that make a great player the best are very hard to notice. Impressive plays don't always lead to exciting moments in League of Legends, but just a small lead in gold. League of Legends esports is cool, but not that exciting.
The actual client for League of Legends is terrible. It crashes and has a lot of stupid bugs.
Despite some of this, League of Legends is still one of my all time favorite games. The good things in League of Legends heavily outweigh the bad ones.
The gameplay is simply fantastic. When you play the game yourself, it's fast paced, active, and of course a lot of fun. It feels very smooth to play, it's intuitive and it's straight forward. Amazing moments happen when you play League of Legends.
The champions are well designed. They feel unique and cool and there is a champion for everybody. The map, the feeling and the atmosphere in League of Legends is awesome.
It's a game for both the smart and the fast. People who are good at using the keyboard and mouse can win close fights. People who are intelligent and quick thinking can outsmart their opponents.
People who complain about League of Legends are just people who forget to enjoy the great game that it really is.

League of Legends should be a great game, but the player base is just toxic.
"We are working to improve the community by punishing toxic behavior." is a big lie.
I've been playing LoL for four years now. Every game has that player who will screw the potential experience by trash-talking, feeding, etc. This behavior is getting worse every year, Riot just don't care. Punishing one or two players is not enough. League of Legends has the potential, it is fun when you can play a great game with good teammates, but the player base ruins it..

When you first start out, it becomes really addicting but this game involves a lot of grinding for IP (in-game currency). Took me a about month to get a certain amount of IP to get the champion I wanted. Grinding so much really took the fun out of playing it. But it is certainly a better experience with 4-5 friends. Also, too many OP Champions and a lot of balancing issues.

A bunch of amateurs once created this fun moba game. It was indeed very interesting and grew really big throughout the years. 7 years later, it's still the same amateurs running the company, although now they have evolved into greedy amateurs.
The game HASN'T GOTTEN ANY BETTER throughout the years. The only thing that changed is the amount of skins and champions. Instead of adding variety to the game, they removed it. They also removed solo-queue recently and replaced it with that new game mode called "carry, or get carried by the eloboosters", where you can queue up with your friends and increase your personal elo rating (notice how queuing with friends = personal rating o.0).
Furthermore, the community in this game has the mental capacity of a 5 year old. If somebody bullies us, we tell the teacher. Obviously Riot has taken advantage of that situation and permabans accounts at the drop of a hat. This benefits both the 5 year olds (who are happy the bully got banned) and obviously Riot (who is basically scamming their customers, taking away what they paid for). But the community is so overwhelmed by the hatred for their fellow co-players that they don't realize they're acting like sheep. Overall, a great atmosphere.
I give this game a 4, but honestly as a veteran player and gamer I'm really disappointed by Riot Games, as I am by most North American publishers lately. Too greedy. My suggestion would be to actually play the game but NEVER spend any money. Also, do not take it very seriously, especially while playing ranked.

My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because this game gave me cancer anyway.

Hello,
So you want to play LoL, "League of Legends" made by Riot Games? Well I am here to tell you all about my journey in the game and what to expect from this amazing time waster.
First of all I will start with my experience. I have been playing this game on and off since the release of Vi which is something like from 2013. Who Am I to write a review? Well I was ranked Platinum 1 in season 5 (not a very high rank but good enough for a review I guess) and currently I am platinum 5 in the new season 6. I have played in many seasons and seen a huge amount of metas. The champion pool is diverse, yet the luxurious choice of champions does not matter unless you are in low ELO (aka low rank) or you are a one trick pony. Why u ask? Simple the heuristics of league of legends tell people that X champion with Y build makes him the best/top tier pick. This is where people get the idea of imbalance. Alternatively I don't agree with that but that is off-topic.
Lets start with the community.
Pros:
-Great jokes even the old ones like: Graves's cigar
-Very fast learning community (aka creates new metas in under a weeks time)
-
Cons
-Toxic at many points sometimes for no reason. Tbh its not the games fault but the reliance of teamwork.
-Will blame others unless you are plat or above.
-Depending on rank will have different attitudes for example Platinum Elo has very big ego.
Game play.
Pros
-Recently very balanced unless the game gets staled and the developers unleash a couple of unfair champions.
-Very diverse game play choice (you can play from stationary damage dealers to a face roll tank that does not die unless he goes 1v5)
-Amazingly looking models and skins making you want to buy them
-High skill cap champion pool including the easier champions like (Yi, Irelia etc.)
Cons.
-Miss clicks cost games
-Some champions get no changes for years leaving their player base to rot.
-Unhealthy kits of champions that can either be mega weak or significantly 'op'.
All in all this game is worth any ones time, especially if you love MOBA's. Teamwork, coordination and individual skill leads all good players to high ranks and if you like these aspects in a game try it out!
It's been Tomas and I give this game a solid
8/10.

I have a love hate with this game. Its a lot of fun, but the community is like herpes. Everything is fine, good game good game, then you get the flair up. Troll city, out the ass. They do a good job of adding new content for a fair price. Every patch cycle they nerf some champions and make others completely op. Instead of updating ass old champions like Urgot and some other ones they keep throwing new **** out that's basically the same thing as all the other people just mixed together. But ive been playing this **** since it came out a few years ago nonstop basically, so that tells you something.

I lived and slept this game and witnessed all the crap the developers have implemented. From the slow and questionable character balancing, overpriced micro-transactions, dramatically overhauling and champ remodels and voices after you've purchased them without your consent, the brain-dead-and-totally-not-band-aid-solution that was Tribunal (that backfired so hard, they shut it down), to fully automated perma-ban sollution, to the most...depressing, conceited, immature, self-indulgent, braggadocious, narcissistic, report-happy, self-contradicting, impossible, unreasonable, fun-depriving, unimaginative, spamming, excessively elitist and laughably stupidest community. Oh they also decided to restructure the servers and increased the ping on the west coast on average by 50ms, and when i was playing at my peak in skill. I could do things with 15ms on characters like "Ezreal" and "Lee Sin", that just are not humanly possible on 70ms. That is another issue. There is so many god damn cheaters on this game now. Leaguesharp and Bot of Legends had an estimated 300,00 combined global users. The camera is too zoomed in and I miss using able to use a zoomhack to actually now feel cross eyed after i play this game. I have to squint to actually see my character nowadays since my eyes have suffered from 5 years of Computer Addiction.
Okay is just boils down to this. The problem is this "game" is incredibly addicting and once you try out all the unique characters and pull off all the possible plays. Their is just nothing left. It's rinse and repeat. None of the games ever matter what so ever. Just playing this game is illogical, Dota 2 is a far more dynamic complex game with a skill ceiling out of this game's league. If i wasn't so invested in this game. I would of quit back in 2012 before I got addicted to the illusion of progressive that only this game can offer so frequently.
This isn't a game, it's a sport. It's not fun. You're not a legend, unless you can play in master league in the first year of playing. If you can't hit this peak in skill. There is absolutely no point in playing even if you like this game. Your holding back the potential you have as a human being too evolve. Also the company who owns this game, happens to be the richest game corporation in communist China. They also are currently putting there final touches on a system that punishes free speaking chinese people by monitoring online activity directly restricts rights and imposes a natural inconveniece of lifestyle.
Tldr; This game is the epitome of Evil

League of Legends is a game about communication, skill and teamwork. Here are a few questions that you should ask yourself before even considering playing it:
Do you have at least 3 friends you know you will be playing with regularly?
Are you willing to invest hundreds of hours into a game that takes around 30 minutes to finish?
Can you accept that in the best case (if you have experience in competitive games, can work well in a team and respond quickly to the actions of all other 9 players) you will win 55-60% of the games that you play?
Are you able to cope with toxic behavior on a regular basis without engaging in pointless arguments?
If the answer to any of the above questions is "No", then please don't even start playing this game.
As I mentioned above, if you are good at the game (and statistically half of the players are not good at the game) you will only win a little more than half of your games. The only way you can enjoy this game is by acknowledging the fact that in at least 30% of the games there will be nothing you could have done by the end of the game to help win it. This of course works both ways: In 30% of the games the scale will tip significantly in favor of one of the two teams. As a result 60% of the games will either be an easy win or almost certain loss, leaving only 40% where there is some challenge. This is when you can truly enjoy the game and for some players the adrenaline from those 40% make up for the other 60% of lackluster experience.
It definitely does not help that because of the competitive nature of the game and the fact that every single person in the team must perform well in order to win the game, the game often ends up in a big argument between the players of the losing team (or sometimes even the winning team) which ultimately hinders their ability to work as a team and makes matters even worse. Even if you don't take part in those arguments you will be a witness to such behavior constantly, making those 60% even less enjoyable.
Retrospectively, League of Legends is a game that needs to be played for hundreds of hours to be appreciated but is fun only 40% of the time. Whether you are willing to sacrifice so much of your time for the enjoyment of those 40% is something that you need to decide for yourself. I think a score should represent the enjoyment that one gets from a certain game. LoL is not enjoyable every 6/10 games and enjoyable every 4/10 games, and as such I give it a 4/10.

This game it's a meh:
Matches take too long (25-40 min); Toxic community (not a fault of the game itself but Riot apparently do not moderate this game enough); only two maps; slow and repetitive game-play; too much fanservice with character design; if one of your teammates disconnect during a game a bot did NOT take over his **** you have to play 4 vs 5 or worse; do not encourage team-play like other moba do; champions skins overpriced; it takes at least about 3 minutes to start a game; it takes ages to acquire champion with in-game currency; wasting hours surfing the net for guides (about equipment and champions) is mandatory because in-game tutorial is insufficent.
If you have enough friends willing to play this game to form an entire team (and who wants to play regularly) the score goes up one or two **** remains a mediocre game

Buy one champ, play him over and over again until you think you are good at him after 100 games u can finally buy another champ just to play him 100 matches to finally get another one. While you are playing you encounter a lot of people, most of them are telling you how bad you are until you make your penta and win you the match but no one will tell you that you are good ever.
So basiclly a very boring game from minute one on.

I've played this game since season 1, before it was even referred to as season 1. This game was WAY better when it first started. Not only did they have an actual customer service, but the back a story. Now they're trying, but you can **** garbage. Then you come to the player aspect. I have NEVER been so disrespected SO often for NO REASON!! People ruin your games for fun, go into ranked with the soul purpose of leaving or feeding. Now, and this is my favorite. THIS GAME IS FULL OF CHEATERS/SCRIPTERS FROM THE GROUND UP!!! They only just recently added a report feature to bring up cheating. Some Champions have 5 or 10 skins, when other champions have an alternate that came out with the champion. They update features, without even considering that the updates they make might affect other aspects of the game for the worse, and trust me...they generally always affect the game for the worse. Instead of League of Legends, compared to heroes of the storm....this game is filth.

I really did enjoy this game like no other game but unfortunately the game is perfect for you when you just start because you don't care about anything anyone who insults you the server lags the overpriced skins the over powered champions but then league of legends really gets annoying when you are on lvl 30 things change and it isn't as fun as it used to be people judge everything you do people critic every single thing you do and you often meet people who troll why do they troll ? No not because its funny because they are annoyed of all the toxic players and troll to get demoted and play with noobs compared to them and i blame the toxic players but toxic players isn't the only problem because the riot employees are laughing at us look the champions that we want to get a nerd instead get **** i still love this game no matter what because its original,fun,easy to learn and you get used to it in 1-2 **** i find it disappointing to miss such a great opportunity especially with such a good game to get ruined by community so i think only thing for riot to do is to make a new game and put swear,noob,get cancer **** and all of the other toxic sentences,and also if someone has a question about will it run yes it runs very easily

Update to my old review of this game. Basically when I originally reviewed this game I summed it up by saying "Its pretty good but dont bother unless you have 4 friends to play with". But now many things have changed for the worse to the point where its worth a new review.
Firstly ive been playing this game since its creation and I can say without any doubt the current state is the most unbalanced the game has ever been in its history. The current state of balance is laughable at best.
This leads nicely into the second point, there are 128 champs as of writing but only about 20 are actually viable for competitive play. This can easily be seen in game. With every game featuring mostly the same champs from the pool of 20 viable ones. The last 10 games I had for example I saw a Yasuo in all but 3 and in those 3 he was banned, a Mundo banned in 6 played in 3, Illaio banned in all but 1, Fiora banned in 5 played in 3. Oh and dont even think about picking one of the non viable champs unless you want to get flamed so much you set on fire.
Leads me into my 3rd point, the game has never had a good community, its always been ban. It comes with the territory but as of writing the player base is appalling. Its simply now at the point where I mute everyone at the games start if im playing solo que. But I wouldn't recommend playing solo que anyway, Full team pre made only if you want to get the most out of this game.
To sum it up I used to play 3-4 games a day and during the early period I actually put money into the game, Now I play 2 maybe 3 games a week with a full team. I have not spent a single dime on the game since those early days and I will not be spending any more on the game, until its fixed both technically and balancing.

Quite a good game, unfortunately the playerbase lets it down. High pings, afk, poor skills really has impact on games. I cant complain about the gameplay, its really quite good but the playerbase is its major downfall and since the game is only a multiplayer it really struggles.
If it introduced a minimum ping barrier to prevent people with terrible pings it would benefit hugely.
I understand the flamers as its through frustration of encountering the same issues again and again.
I don't see the point of flaming but if I'm honest I find the playerbase to frustrating at times and have had some lengthy breaks in my game time as I find my gameplay suffers at the hands of others. I play support and the role is hugely reliant on a decent carry.

Played league of legends about 3.5 years, Uninstalled, The community is progressively worst each year. Riot has Mods who abuse the power they are given to audit and will report you just for them having a bad game themselves, they will match you with Bots in ranked, this is more of a freemium game because if you want to be really good you won't have the points needed to keep buying rune pages or anything helpful. I'm 27 years old and this is literally the most toxic game I have played, great potential but they have gone about it all wrong, I received a suspension for nothing and no proof providing, not even perma ban but I uninstalled and throwing in the towel not worth the lost time, money and frustration.

Welcome to the League of Legends user review, featuring me, the reviewer. League of Legends is a Massive Online Battle Arena, or MOBA for short, style game. It is one of the most popular online games in the world hosting a player base of over 27 million every day. I have played League for almost 5 years now. I have logged over 1200 hours onto it, and that does not include the time spent off of my main account. I have 4 accounts, one of which is on the beta server. I read all the patch notes, know all the characters, and all of their abilities. For several hours of every week I take to the fields of justice to decide the fate of Runeterra.
League of Legends, overall, is a good game. My 8 out of 10 should not be a surprise considering the rampant popularity. To be honest, I only really have two complaints with the game. The first is the system of Match Making Rating, or MMR as it is commonly called. My second is the community.
MMR is what determines who is on your team and who you are against. This helps to prevent low ranked people from being paired with or against very high ranked people. To this extent it works very well. However, as people climb the ranks it can be a very punishing system. In order to climb in ranked tiers you must win games in order to earn league points, or LP. At 100 LP you earn the chance to move up to the next tier by winning two out of three of the next games. But the amount of LP you earn and lose upon a win or loss is determined by your current MMR and the MMR of your teammates and opponents. Since MMR rises slower than LP, unless you are on a very large win streak, this causes people to earn little LP for a win, but lose a large amount on a loss. In my experience (which isn't even the worst of it), I’ve been winning 16 LP, but losing 24.
The community is the biggest complaint of the majority of league players. Matt Truong, lower ranked player who has logged over 1000 hours over the course of 3 years under the name solidious101, says, “The toxicity and attitude of certain players creates an inhospitable atmosphere for newer players.” Although, it has greatly improved over time. When I first started playing almost 5 years ago, you couldn't go even one game without a raging flamer, who would probably quit partway through the game. But Riot Games (the producers of League of Legends) began to really crack down on them. They managed to remove most of the ragers in my opinion. Occasionally you’ll still find one, but it is a relatively rare experience compared to five years ago. However, while there are less ragers overall, those that do still exist tend to be pretty toxic.
Those 2 complaints may be fairly large, but as I said, league is still a good game. First off, it's easy to learn. League of Legends is probably the simplest and most streamlined MOBA style. The entire game can pretty much be summed up in 5 game mechanics: poke, push, team fight, cs, and trade. This reason is commonly cited as to why it is so popular. People see pro players do something and think to themselves, “that's not that hard, I could do that (although most people cannot, thus explain why they are not pro players).” This brings a lot of people onto the game, and keeps them hooked since they are always trying out new things and striving to get better.
Another big reason for why league is a good game is the length of each match. One match of league is about 35 minutes and no two matches are the same. This yields two things that make for a good game: ease of access and replay value. I tout The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess as my favorite game ever, but I have only played that for about 55-60 hours versus the hundreds I have spent on league. For league, if you have a free 50 minutes or so, you should easily be able to get a game in, but in legend of Zelda you need a solid hour and a half or more if you want to enjoy it. Moreover, every time you play Zelda, it's the same thing. Between having over a hundred characters to choose from, extremely varied item builds, and more players than you could ever play with, you can play league for the rest of your life and never have the same two experiences.
The most important reason that League of Legends is a good game, however, is that it is a multi-player game. League is played with others and is in a way meant to be played with friends. I, myself, hardly ever play on my own, I almost always am playing with at least one friend. Sunny Kakkad, an intermediate level player who has logged 1100 hours on league over the last 3 years under the name Sunnsenpai19, says “I only ever play with friends, usually [tsukiomi]. I even play ranked with other people, even though that raises the MMR.” When you play with friends the game tends to be taken less seriously and it is more ok to do trolly things which is more fun. The vast majority of the time when I play with my friends, we aren't in the same room, or even building. We just use a third p

From the disgusting character balancing (nerfing up champs, buffing op champs), to overpriced microxactions, dramatically overhauling champs voices/appearances after you've purchased them without your consent, the brain-dead-and-totally-not-band-aid-solution that was Tribunal (that backfired so hard, they shut it down), to FULLY AUTOMATED PERMA-BAN SYSTEM, to the most...depressing, immature, self-indulgent, braggadocious, narcissistic, report-happy, self-contradicting, impossible, unreasonable, fun-depriving, unimaginative, op-champ spamming, excessively elitist, personality-starved, and laughably stupidest community I have ever had the displeasure of being in contact with. Name any online game right now; WoW, CS:GO, HoN, ect I don't care; LoL has the - indisputably, hands down - THE WORST community I have ever seen. The first thing your opponents say is "omg im so high lol and my **** is huge" from player named Anime69forever and your teammates say "OMG IM LAGGING! MY CAT SAT ON THE KEYBOARD! MY MOUSE DIED!" and the 40 min flame war begins.
I don't even have room to discuss all the garbage I've got on this company from bait-and-switch tactics with the new Gangplank/Captain skin, to deliberately making a tank meta so they can BANK on the anti-tank champs or make a new one, or how they handled Riven. "Hmm...Riven's op. Nerfs, or more skins? PSSH, DUH!" to which the community says "shes not op she takes ****? How is that even relevant? What does the skillcap have to do with the champ's maximum potential? Nothing. They have to push this idea that they're winning cuz their skillllldddd because their divorcing parents don't have anything nice to say about them. Which leaves me to the basic review of the game.
It's a casual game. Everything is easy to play as, has 4 buttons, and is mostly a roulette to whatever morons you're matched with. Admittedly, if and when it all works, its some of the most refreshing fun I've ever had in a game. I really do love it, but if 2 of your teammates wana go back and forth about each other's moms instead of playing, guess who isn't winning? The enemy is playing as the same 5 broken champs that smash everything, then they get fed off of your idiotic teammates; leaving you no choice but to turtle and wait out the game. By the 20 min mark, the score is 0-30, and you just hide in your base, waiting for the enemy to kill the neutral boss to get its buff then clean you up as everyone votes "no" to surrendering so they can spend the 30 min turtle flaming on! "REPORT MY TEAM TOXIC", then re-queue and repeat until you barf.
But a recent incident was the last straw. I'm guessing my old email got hacked and the only override was using an old, dead phone I don't have anymore. Problem is, that old email was the one verified with my LoL account. When I requested help, it started promising enough, but out of nowhere, the genius player support says "I'LL FIX IT! I'LL ASK FER A PASSWURD CHAAAAAAAANGEEE11!!!11" and permanently locked me out of my own account. There goes 100's of dollars in champs, skins, and services, 1,000's of hours of gameplay, and any friends I met on there. GONE. FOREVER. POOF. (You may now ignore the previous paragraph and say "well its ur fault fer not changign email fone #"). Why should I spend any time/money/effort on a LoL account if there are soooo many ways for it to just POOF? None, and neither should you. Automated perma-ban system, clumsy customer support, screwy email accounts, auto-afk ban system (read other negative reviews) or false accusation (i.e., abusable "report" button where RIOT gets anal if you so much as critique someone) are just a few ways to lose years of gameplay instantly. Their customer support is absurdly incompetent.
Which is such a shame! When the game works, its amazing! I love it! I love its art style, music, voice acting, character design, controls, variety of champs, sound effects, it really is a well crafted game, but whoever is in charge is destroying it, like how the same 10 champions are spammed every game and the community RUTHLESSLY defends the game's balance saying "You're still in bronze (lowest elo) because you ****" when if you look at any of their profiles, they only play 2 champs (i.e. Riven [600 games] Vayne [200] Thresh [50].)
It is....such a mess. Don't play it. Convince your friends to stop playing it. Worst community, worst community management, worst balancing, incompetent customer service, numerous ways that their "ban bot" 's roulette will land on your name, community has no mind of their own, resorting to being sycophants for RIOT or the pro scene, over-priced micro transactions, new champ is always broken to ensure sales, broken champs get more skins instead of nerfs, the list goes on forever.
I've put up with a lot of their crap, but changing my password w/o my consent to lock me out was it. Im done

The community is horrible, expect to lose your sanity as every game, there are 9 other kids who want to **** your mother. Add to that the fact that starting is so difficult due to over priced champions and unfair mechanics for newcomers. Riot dont give a **** either, they just want your monies for their stupid skins.

First, the champion balance issue right now... Kallista is totally op, mostly because Riot broke their own champion design rules, giving Kallista incredible support and mobility. What's even worse, her ulti which saves a teammate or throws them close to an enemy can also cc. You cannot do anything against Kallista in lane because she just jumps around and makes favorable trades. She can easily dodge skillshots with her jump and there is no way to trade efficiently because of her pop skill. The sad thing is Kallista gets stronger in lane with levels.
Thresh and Tahm are top support champs right now. Thresh is still completely broken. It makes tower diving and ganking much much easier, but he can still hook and zone and deal tons of damage... Tahm has a similar problem where they can just do too much, the cheap giant shield is ridiculous, he already teleports like tf onto someone and throws its teammate at them AND has the ability to slow and stun from range....
Everyone complains about Darius and I figure it's just the numbers might just be a bit too high. His skillset is high reward and he has no gap closer. I don't play League of Wards rip League of Legends but it's damn boring right now, even the tournament games. Rip sona love how they nerfed you and introduced Thresh. Elise and Rexxar are still op too. You gotta love Riot's ability to give new champs an ever-better skillset

This game used to be fun. From season 1 to season 3 it was pretty enjoyable. The start of season 4 was okay, but as time went on, the balance just got worse and the game became even buggier. For weeks after a patch is released champions are constantly getting disabled for bugs entirely unrelated to any changes made. Riot is unwilling to create a new client to replace the ancient adobe air client. The last mention of a new client was quite a while ago, and the person working on it has since quit from Riot Games. The largest and one of the most competitive games in the world, and they can't even be bothered to add a replay system. Their excuse for not adding a replay system is that "it creates toxicity". Really...toxicity? I would entirely recommend playing a different moba like Strife, Smite, DotA 2, or any other moba that has developers that actually care about something other than money and publicity.

Game play wise, the game is fun and it doesn't seem overly repetitive despite games been played on the same map. There is over 100 different champions to choose from, and the Free to Play model that Riot games uses ensures that there is no pay-to-win, a common hatred that binds the gaming community. The game has a terrible community, don't get me wrong, but that is the fault of the people playing the game, not that game itself. If you have a group of mates and you really don't want to take the game fully seriously and constantly play competitive, it's really a great experience.

I gave up playing lol like 2 years ago due to the toxic trolly immature, offensive and abusing community.
I was bored so I installed the game, realized from game 1 why I quit, but kept playing for 10 games out of which 8 were horrible with at least 1-2 scums.
I uninstalled.
2 days after this I got bored again, installed, played 3 games, uninstalled again.
Next day I installed it again, played a good match, but the next one: I ended up jungler, no one helped me with red buff at start (not top, not mid, no one), but then they started flaming me for not ganking. I told them no one helped me at start w/red buff, but kept insulting "stop crying", when he was in fact crying I'm not ganking them after not a single one helped me with buff. I got left behind in levels so I needed to catch-up, not try to gank and fail, or even feeding in the process.
They kept flaming, insulting me, until the point I had to mute everyone. Believe me, you can't play with **** you just can't. Game started going better, I unmuted them, then the ones that insulted me started ordering me around. As if ... when they flamed and haven't helped one bit. Even if we were winning, one of the scums kept typing in /all to report me. I said to /all to report them for not helping, flame, insults, after which they both acted like innocent little angels. "we didn't flame you", "we never insulted you", "we just told them to report you, that's not an insult" ... -_-
How scummy do you have to be to act like a total scum, insult, flame, harass, then behave as if you never did any of that and that it's actually the other one who did?
I reported both, then they reported me and said they'll ban me. I said no, you'll be banned. They laughed and said riot is too lazy and they don't ban anymore. I said it's not riot that bans, but the community through the tribunal. **I was afk like 5 min and then I see a pop-up that I've been banned for 14 days for my recent behavior in my recent matches.** Really? I've been harassed, abused and insulted and I'm the one banned? And I only played like 10 matches the last 2 years :)) The mail I got was sent in spam (seem appropriate) and showed as evidence my last match (quite biased, because it didn't include what others have said at all. very biased and rudimentary).
**I thank you for reminding me why I quit league of legends and never came back. A game full of scums and curated by scums. Kinda reminds me of ArcheAge². Thank you for stopping me from wasting time only getting angry, insulted and harassed.**
**If you think of coming back to play League of Legends, don't. You'll regret it.**

e-Sports can't be rated. It's competitive so it shouldn't be compared to traditional games or what we expect from a video-game. Therefore it shouldn't be rated, you don't set a score for traditional sports like football or basketball too, so why would you rate e-Sports titles like this one? This game was never meant to be a single player game or beginner friendly. Unfortunely it is a team based game, which means you either put in hard work, get better, work with your team and love it or you will fail, stagnate, curse your team and hate the game forever. Winning and losing is part of every Sport, but either way only happens with the team.

Alright. So I have played this game for little over a year now, and after looking at the review I'm just gonna have to point out a few things.
If you have the whole idea of "Grinding" with this game then you are looking at it wrong. The only thing you are "Grinding" for is Creep Score In-Game. IP is rewarded based on how you do and you can unlock more champions this way. I know it takes a long time, but its supposed to. You are not supposed to get all of the champions in 1 year, unless you want to pay. And thats the thing, if all you are doing is "Grinding" then this game isnt for you.
If graphics is all that matters to you then you should go play something else because this game is NOT about graphics, even though they have redone the art design recently its still not the best, but this doesnt affect me, if it affects you, then go play the Witcher 3.
Overall this game is very addictive, and especially with 4 friends, you can all collaborate via skype and its just really really fun. I have spent almost 500 hours with this game and still going.
Also "Free to play" isnt exactly true, if you know what i mean XD. (Skins m8)

There is certainly a good amount of content to experience here considering the low number of maps. However I simply can not get past the general slowness of this game. The match times are inflated basically due to this. Walking is slow, combat is slow, everything moves at a snail's pace. You do get currency fairly quickly to buy new heroes if you are at least half decent, and there is plenty to choose from. However they all have a fairly generic feel with few exceptions. Also, after a little over 50 matches I don't think I've gone more than 2 consecutive matches without trolls going off on some offensive rant on me or team mates. Seriously sometimes you feel like you're playing with the Taliban or ISIS or something. It's best just to ignore your team all together unless they're being friendly or you know them already.... unless you're the type of person who feeds on being trolled on and insulted for minor things. Graphics are pretty much a notch above farmville quality. Sound is okay but not memorable. Control response is fairly abysmal.
Overall, I give this game a 4 out of 10. It's got a good concept, but its slowness, community, and lack of responsive controls is a turn off for me. I respect those who enjoy this MOBA, however it's just not for me and I guess I just don't "get it" as to why it's so popular.

I've been playing this game for 4 years now... and I've not killed myself like the negative reviews suggest so that's nice.
Yes there are plenty of idiots who play this game and just abuse their team (who I mute if needed) or opposition (who I always have muted, but as you play and improve you will rise above them and they will languish in the lower ranks.
And that were this game is brilliant, playing, improving and adapting and ultimately rising the ranks. I', lucky that I play with a couple of like minded people on a regular basis so I don't have to put up with random stuff as we all know the plan, I'd recommend friending nice players and hooking up with them too.
Personally I think the game is very well balanced, they are always trying to make small adjustments as needed and yes sometimes this makes a character OP, but you always have prematch bans to deal with this... or just learn how to shut them down. And new characters every month or so keeps it interesting and adds new dimensions.
So I'd recommend trying it, playing in a friendly way and muting those who don't. It takes a couple of games to understand the basic strategy, and in my case 4 years or more to try and perfect yours! ;D

Pay to win nonsense. They give you some basic, lame champions that allows you to play the game with different play styles in mind. The introduction levels are there to make you feel powerful with those lame chars but as soon as you get passed those introductory levels the whole things goes upsides down. You're lame champion is revealed for what it is, lame. The only way to get a better character than the crap selection they give you for free is to either play like crazy to earn free points to spend money on better champs... this takes forever. The other way is to pay with actual money. What a load of crap. AVOID.

While the gameplay is almost always the same, the opponents differ massively. Yes you lose the gold and levels you earn every game, but if you are decent you have no issue regaining them the next.

League of Legends
League of Legends is a videogame played on the PC, it is a part **** of games called MOBAs (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena). It is popularly known as LoL and it currently holds the title of most widely played video game in the world. It has over twenty seven million active players daily. It is so large that it has even spawned its own slang vocabulary that every player understands. What would compel such a large amount of people to log in and play the same game every day? The answer lies in its simple yet deceptively complex structure of play. One can compare it to a team oriented version of chess. The old saying rings true, easy to learn hard to master.
The basic concept of the game revolves around ten players divided into two teams of five players each. These two teams engage in a battle to destroy their opponent’s base, referred to as the “Nexus”. The path to said Nexus is defended by magical towers that will try stop you. In order to overcome this your team must work together with their selected characters, called “Champions” in-game to eventually overcome the enemy team and destroy their Nexus. In order to defend itself, each base will automatically send a number of soldiers into battle, these soldiers are referred to as “creeps”. When creeps are killed, champions are awarded with gold and experience. These are two very important resources.
Gold allows your champion to buy items such as swords, shields and magical potions. Experience on the other hand allows you to “level up” your character which makes him or her stronger and unlocks access to new abilities.
The main way to play is the multiplayer mode against other people, but there is also a singleplayer mode where you play against the computer’s artificial intelligence. Overall the real excitement comes from besting your human opponents on the battlefield. Before getting into a real battle against other players the game offers a tutorial that focuses on teaching new players the basics which we have already covered. It’s essential to learn these concepts and more before engaging human opponents in the arena.
The arena in question is called the Summoner’s Rift, it is the main map where the battle takes place. An average battle will run anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes, the perfect length to have a good time with friends and possibly play another, without taking up your entire day. While in a match there are no breaks or pauses so one needs to pay attention for the duration of the match. The only down time provided to you, occurs when your character dies. At that point you are no longer in control and need to wait for a certain amount of time before being allowed to enter the arena again.
In a typical match you will find a wide variety of champions that all have strengths and weaknesses. One such champion is Fizz, a powerful fish that uses his trident to quickly strike and dash away from a fight. The key to gathering gold and experience lies in killing creeps and enemy champions, while preventing your own champion from dying. A champion is only as strong as the amount of gold and experience he’s managed to collect. This is where League of Legends thrives, the careful balance between player skill and mechanics. Eventually by playing different champions one will learn how to counter and predict enemy map movements.
League of Legends is what is called a “free to play game” meaning the upfront cost to enjoy it is nothing, however some parts of the game are restricted until you pay, for instance there are 123 champions in the game but you do not have access to all of them for free. They use a rotation system of 10 selected champions offered for free each week allowing you to try them out before making a purchase. If you fall in love with any of them you can turn your real money into what is called “Riot points” (Riot is the name of the developer). If however you wish to acquire a champion without spending actual money, you have the option of only playing the freely available champions while earning “influence points” for each match. Eventually you will gather enough influence points to trade them for champions. After a few hundred matches it is easy to fall into the temptation and open up your wallet to buy Riot points to speed up the process, after all Riot has to get their money from somewhere, especially since they are advertising it as a free game.
The developer knows a lot about what makes a team oriented game tick. After your first few matches you learn that communication is key. Riot provide an in-game chat for typing out your strategies, but as it can be hard to type in the heat of battle they have also included a set of warning commands that will visually display icons on the map, this way your team can communicate quickly and efficiently as they seek to take objectives. Alternatively you can use a third party voice chat program like Skype. However most players rely on the in-game chat system.
The visuals of the game are very cartoonish at first glance, this allows the game to run well on less powerful computers which is another reason why so many people play it. Light hearted actions such as visual gags and special dance moves that can be executed mid game highlight the emphasis on friendly fun, yet a highly competitive environment lies beneath the surface.
As far as stability is concerned, sometimes players will experience delays as they wait to log in to a match, other times they will encounter visual bugs. Overall Riot spend a great deal of time ensuring that their game operates as it should, with little to no down time. Time is money after all!
League of Legends is not hard to get into, but quite challenging to master. Updates and patches keep the game well balanced, boosting or toning down the power of various items and champions. Sometimes an update will bring a surprise twist to the game mode, slightly changing the game mechanics or introduce a new champion or changes to the map. In this sense the game is constantly evolving and improving.
As an example, my favorite alteration to the game mechanics was a mode called “Hexakill”: It allows six instead of the standard five champions per team, leading to some chaotic battles. The mode was so successful Riot extended its duration for an additional two weeks. As in the normal mode, the main objective is to destroy the enemy nexus, but now you had the possibility of scoring a hexakill. Getting multiple kills in this game is one of the most gratifying feelings, the game has something like a sports announcer that will yell things such as “GOD LIKE!” when you slaughter your foes in battle.
While League of Legends could be considered repetitive in that you always have the same objective and always play on the same map, the variety lies in the champion combinations, their items, and the varied skill level of your opponents. It is a very deep and rewarding game of higher strategy typical of the MOBA genre. No match ever plays out the same way, especially if you are playing with friends. The joy comes from mastering your champions, constantly learning new tactics and honing your skills. Most importantly you need to maintain a positive attitude and play as a team to emerge victorious. You will not win every match, but hopefully you will learn something valuable with each loss. Ultimately I feel League of Legends is a great example of a video game that offers countless hours of entertainment and the possibility of socializing with other people from all over the world, showcasing the best of what gaming and global connectivity can be. In closing, I have finally found a game that I love to hate, it can be a massive time sink, but in the end I am happy to have wasted both time and money on this great MOBA.

Potentially fun game at times, but spoilt by a number of things. In my experience, this game attracts only the worst of what the internet has to offer in terms of people. It got to the point that I'd rather be having a chat about philosophy to a Call of Duty kid instead of having to bear with the ignorance and general idiocy that comes with most of the community on this game.
And then comes the match ups, there are always top tier characters (to be fair like any game, but as it's a battle arena this makes for boring games). This just makes for the same gameplay over and over again, when you'd think that with over 100+ characters the word 'variety' would manage to show up.
I tried to enjoy this and now I'm just left with a foul taste in my mouth, personally. However, to add some good points: I can enjoy this game at time when playing with a full party of friends. This however as my level increases, becomes rarer and rarer.
So overall? It's mediocore. Fun at times.

Not worthy to be called a game. Devs don't give a damn crap about the game. Instead, they put a lot of money into making music for this game so the game gets popular (Imagine Dragons). Don't excect any good patches/champions rework, since Riot never heard the word 'balance' before. Are you ****, you have no life, and no friends? Then League of Legends is something for you. Do you like a good community, amazing updates, and just a better experience? Play any other MOBA.

This game is was very good and very fun to play, because you had a big variety of champions you could play, each one with it's own pros and cons.
Nowadays there is a pool of like 20 champions which are ridiciously overpowered and every other champion is way too useless to play them. In other words: play these champions or don't play League of Legends. Riot somehow proceeds to improve the good champions and nerf the bad ones, whysoever.
In addition to this the servers are pretty unreliable.
In sum: don't play this game.

The best most successful game in the MOBA genre. Dominating all others in Esports and players per day it is definitely not a business as you can take it or leave it on the skins and early char unlocks. The support is fantastic and they are constantly evolving the game to keep it relevant and competitive. Any negative comments are from Dota players or people who did not play the game long enough to know what they are talking about. They even sponser multiple gaming communities to dish out thousands of RP per day in low end amateur tourneys based on player skill level. RP is their "in game money" for skins.

If your client will stop working and you will reconnect after 5 minutes they will kick you automatically and you need to reconnect again! and then the next game you must wait 5 minutes to start a game. This is a business not a game. I have less pleasure playing this game and more stress. Just disgusting.

The community is crap too, full of angry arrogant selfish kiddoes ,who start swearing as soon as they make a mistake and die, oh and they want to insta report you for not playing according to their rulebook of how to play,what they checked on some web page and be aware if you want to chance anything up to your liking.
Originally you could test this and that which made the game much more fun seeing how it turned out not anymore,due to these brainless kiddoes. Every game is more or less the same ,the game is boring and dull.
Oh one more thing, sometimes they take your favourite champion(which isnt even close to being op) and redesign it so it is doesnt even resembles the original one, fe soraka who should be a healer ,yet she cant heal herself anymore, instead she uses her own health to heal others... what a **** desing no wonder nobody pick her anymore.
This game maybe looks good and sounds good , you could enjoy it for a month or two , but then it became boring and frustrating. Go try out Smite or even the new Blizzard's one Heroes of somthing is much more fun , or dota 2 which I heared is much more balanced.

I was in cbt, it was good back then. There were only about 40-50 champions to select from with a new one coming every few months. Now they are releasing a new champion every other week which makes it impossible to keep up with getting new champions unless you lack a life or want to spend a lot of real money on it. One of my idiot friends fell for this and has spent 5.8k usd on league so far... I might rate this up to a 5 if they included an all in one package, for one price, like smite did... However, the game is no longer about skill, its about "counters." Problem is, if you don't grind using crappy champions or wont spend real money (on a garbage game might I add) you wont be able to counter said OP champions. I am sorry but this is just a piss poor design. Smite is the better option, hi-rez might be a team of inbred morons but at least they made a solid skill based game, compared to this garbage.

The game is OK. It was clear that was developed by DoTA designers, so there are no "copy" between DoTA and LoL **** problems aren't on the game itself: they are on anywhere else. A important point is the community. Not only on Brazil (my native country), but the NA, EU and etc. servers as well. People just follow blindly a "meta" and report everyone who tries to change it (even in special occasions).
And the lack of cooperation is bizarre. It's like you have 9 enemies: 5 for the enemy team, and 4 on yours. The few players you can enjoy play are those who have cooperation sense

Buen juego pero sin duda necesitas jugarlo hasta llegar a nivel 30 para ver si te gusta o no no puedes jugarlo 2 semanas y decir no me gusto uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado no es un pay to play en el que necesariamente necesitas comprar algo para ganar los campeones estan muy bien balanceados y aunque aveces unos se desbalancean por las actualizaciones a objetos y nuevos campeones Riot Games da un buen servicio al poner parches cada 2 semanas y asi reparar esos desbalanceos manteniendo el juego con vida

Awful game. Repetitive gameplay, totally unbalanced champions, only one real map.

League of legends is a game that's all about teamwork and cooperation. communicating with your teammates about when to attack or defend. a fantastic game of strategy and skill. the community however if very unhelpful and they just like to hate. the matches are long and require full attention, but once you win you feel like a champion, once you lose you don't just quit there you figure out what you did wrong and you fix it. you learn more by losing then by winning based of what I have seen.

Great game. Played the hell out of it. Done with it. It became too esports focused, not that that is a bad thing, but they left behind all the other players. They took away the funny style they had and replaced it with a much too serious tone. They even redid the original characters because they were no longer fitting into the world they'd changed the game to be. They started adding too many characters and not caring about the balance of the game. Though adding the new maps and gameplay styles was a big plus and kept the game from droping a few more points in my book!
I still play once in a while, but I just don't have the heart for it anymore, especially with new MOBAs like Vainglory.

This game is an addictive MOBA (multiplier online battle arena) game. It requires a very quick computer as it does take up a bit of space. As well as this your internet connection changes your experience "in game." This game is created by Riot Game and if you encounter a problem all you need to do is contact them. Their support teams are very good and can normally sort you out. This game also has in"app" purchases - however these are not necessary for unlocking characters.
All in all this game is very good yet highly addictive. It is a must play and I highly recommend it!

The game was executed quite well, and there are many who love it. But personally I really don't enjoy it.
There are loads of negative and annoying factors in this game. Like being forced to last hit all minions or just go **** youself because you just lost. Only some characters being viable, while others are just absolutely useless. And way more.
So all I can give this game is a 7.

Being the only game i play, also a (team based) PvP and forgivable Free-to-Play approach will easily hook you on hours upon hours. With a massive selection of characters with different abilities and roles, gives you many options. However it has a unforgivable player-base that every game has due to the horrible mentality our society has. Anyway it's worth checking out

The community for this game is terrible. I've played Modern Warfare and Black Ops all my life and never seen such horrible behavior in as long a chain of matches as this game. Sure you'll run across players that rant all the time in Call of Duty but League of Legends is horrible. Players constantly bickering and arguing against each other. Calling each other names. I love this game but can't play it due to the community.
Riot seems to favor particular champions as well in the League. Leblanc for instance had her silence removed but her damage and dodging is out of this world. It took Riot FOREVER to do something that seemed so obvious to change. Another example, Darius used to be pretty outrageous. It took Riot a while to balance him because they were afraid of nerfing him into the ground. The problem here is that again they favor their champions and don't do this for someone like Skarner or Eve that were nerfed way too far into the ground and didn't see the light of day until recently.
Oh did I mention that the servers are out of this world as well. I remember a time where the lag wasn't so bad and it was manageable. For me it was around the time of Varus's release and I enjoyed playing him because I could land all of his skill shots. I think about half a year to a year passed by and then it began to just dump and lag was inevitable about anywhere you played. This is probably around the time I switched to mid as my main because I could still play a champ with aoe abilities and have great burst to kill an opponent within those 5 stable seconds of ping. Now, every time I watch my friends play I can't help but chuckle at their demise as they helplessly lag all over the screen. I enjoy a fresh cup of liquid refreshment, kick back and just laugh at how terrible Riot's servers are and at how wise my decision was to stop playing this disaster.
If you enjoy this game and can handle game I would recommend this game to you. If you are in the same boat as me, get easily frustrated at lag, despise a horrible community then I would highly suggest you don't play this game and avoid it.

Let's start this by saying I don't care which game came first, which is ripping off the other and so on. So, do I like LoL? Yes, yes I do. Do I love it? God no. The main reasons for not loving it would be the difficulty to differentiate my attacks from the enemy's while on team fights (note that this happens so often, that I've gotten really used to it. But at first it annoyed the heck out of me) and the por variety of gameplay. Also, mayority of the players seem incredibly rude, even by Online Gaming standarts The fact that one can report another player simply because of being a "noob" also annoys me. Nevertheless, I find the game to be fun while playing it with friends (not so much alone. Again, 'cause of the masses). Sure, it can be frustrating at times, but it can also be really rewarding other times.

I played this game for relatively short period since it's attraction rapidly diminished within single month. The major positive point is definitely marketing strategy - it's free to play. Graphics and music are sound, game style reminds me Warcraft quest missions - storm turrets, duel against enemy's champions, advance towards opponent's base. Resources are simplified to gold while champion's are able to spend that gold for different items, I'm sure that sounds familiar to most of gamers.
Now let's review pros and cons of this particular game -
Pros :
1) Good quality of art
2) Simple control ( 4 major skills are correlate to QWER buttons )
3) Simple & attractive concept
4) Broad range of different champions to choose from
Cons :
1) Game client is unstable, especially for Mac, game often freezes, crashes
2) Network protocol is chatty , lags due bandwidth limitations are happens
3) Free to play concept has a tricky part e.g. powerful champions would cost you real money
4) Champions are unbalanced, some champion's skills dubious e.g. allows exploits/abuses
5) Some players exhibits hostile behaviour however game engine does not utilize any means of protection against that. For example players could deprive each other of resources since game does not reward according to efforts e.g. the person who made last blow to monster, enemy champion, tower etc receives rewards instead of sharing proportional to total damage.
6) Many skills are created specially to give advantage to AI bots e.g. 1 second shield which restores mana upon being broken by enemy spell etc.
In general, game is really shallow, which is unfortunately provides a huge boost to it's popularity - if you are searching for a long term game this game is probably a bad choice. If you want to enjoy this game, do not hesitate to spent at least 100 dollars for Riot points and do not start from champions with difficulty higher than six :)

So I have been playing League of Legends for a couple months now and due to my extensive gaming past or just the fact that I have played 600+ games, I have picked up the game relatively quick. I have not played DOTA 2, which is the other MOBA (Mobile Online Battle Arena), but I have played many other online games including first person shooters, real time strategies, and massively multiplayer online role playing games, and League is by far the most addictive for me.
I started playing when numerous friends of mine convinced me to, and they taught me all the basics of the game. That was about all they could really help with before I had to find out the rest for myself because the game has so very much to it. At the beginning the basics seem a little overwhelming but once those are learned everything else just becomes improvements, and there are always room for more, which keeps the player playing. Since every game is against new players it is a different experience every time without fail, as opposed to killing the same computer programed boss every game. What mixes well with this is the myriad of champions that League of Legends boasts, which is up to I believe over 100 now. The champions, or playable characters, leave room for something new every game as each one has different abilities and purposes.
Most of the fun in the game comes from learning all these champions, and if you’re at all like me, the gain of skill is what makes the game addicting. Since every game you can do a little better and better until you’re the one beating up the other guys, and even then you can just play a new champion and do it all over again until you are great with both. The other variations in gameplay is the different positions, in which different champions excel. There are 5 positions and they each do something very different, leaving room for anyone to find one or more that they enjoy. Even with all the focus on individual gameplay, the game comes down to a team game that is fantastic to play with friends, if you can.
The biggest problem of the game is part of the community that plays. There are people in every game that just play to make everyone else angry and League of Legends is no exception. There are people who will rage in the chat, run around dying making the game easier for the enemies, or just simply quit mid game. With each game played being composed of 10 players, 1 player can completely shift the mood of the game from something friendly and fun to a waist of time. The majority of the time this doesn’t happen, it’s just when it does it can cut the fun into little to nothing.
League of Legends is in all a very fun game, especially to those that enjoy skill based games against players. I would recommend it to anyone who has some extra time on their hands and wants a longstanding game to play with friends.

Ich war anfangs sehr begeistert von dem spiel, schöne grafik und hinter jedem champ steckt sogar eine eigene kleine geschichte, sowas findet man recht selten bei solchen spielen.
Es den champs (also den spielbaren figuren) die liebe zum detail deutlich anzusehen und man sieht auch das die sich zu jedem champ wirklich gedanken machen.
Klar ist es unmöglich alles fair zu balancen, dazu sind es einfach zu viele figuren.
Das gameplay jedoch ist jedoch recht mager im moment: es nerven die ständigen serverlags, ausfälle und bugs einiger champs gewaltig.
Und während die spielerschaft in den usa bei jedem ausfall mit champs, skins oder boosts entschädigt werden, zeigt riot der europäischen spielerschaft nur den blanken hintern.
Ich spiele zwar noch nicht so lange und werde es wohl auch nicht bei den immer schlimmer werdenden lags.
riot, bitte schafft erst einmal anständige server an damit es ohne lags wieder spass macht, dann wird lol villeicht auch mal in europa populär.

Not worth the time and effort.
There are a number of things wrong with this game as someone who has played since almost beta it has even made me want to leave. There is the 100+ champions you need to learn in order to play. There is their toxic community that makes the game intolerable most of the time. They completely rework the game every season requiring tons of time and effort to relearn the game again. Then there is the automated systems they put in to deal with the toxic game that usually ends up putting you in worst queues due to their own server issues.
I've spent several years playing this game and to anyone thinking about just picking it up now I'd save yourself the time. Unless you're an extreme hardcore gamer who enjoys being trolled constantly and dealing with poor servers and patches. In which case this game is right up your alley!

League of Legends is really what put MOBAs on the map and brought me into it. Its a great team game to play and has a ton of people constantly playing. You play as champions in 5v5 combat against each other. You get to unlock more champions by gaining in game currency and playing more. The community is known though for trolling and the servers do have its blips too. There's 100+ Champions for a variety of gameplay, and 4 different modes while I believe most of it's played on the 5v5 map Summoners Rift. It has a bit of a learning curve if you're new, especially to people with no MOBA experience. It's a free game, and supported by micro-transactions for skins which are pretty cool. The eSports scene in the game is huge and pretty entertaining as well. The main problems with me in League of Legends is that for a team game there's not enough communication options in my opinion, as well the movement doesn't feel super smooth and at some points you can zone out trying to last hit minions. I also think the map for as long as it's been out needs some adjustments. Overall I believe it's an 8 out of 10 in fun to me it's really fun with friends, but alone I don't feel like a big part of a team and communicating isn't so strong.

League of Legends does one thing right: cloning the early laning phase of Dota. The rest of the matches feel like overglorified First Blood fights. I really don't like this game seeing as I've played a much better and more accessible MOBA: Dota 2.
League of Legends is bad because:
Toxic Community
Hollow strategies and gameplay
Lifesteal on almost every character is viable (wtf?)
Disappointing graphics
Excessively raunchy artwork that is used because sex sells
You have to buy characters just to try them out (you can wait for a character to go free to play for a certain amount of time, but you can't just play who you want to play)
Riot Points are overpriced and are not worth what you pay for
About 80-90% of characters that exist in League of Legends copy characters from Dota (Corki/Gyrocopter, Thresh/Pudge, Ashe/Drow...)
I've played over 50 games of LoL and I feel I can make this opinion. In comparison to others of the genre, League of Legends falls behind in lots of categories.
Go play Dota 2, It's a lot tougher; but a much better game than this piece of trash.

This is really solid MOBA game. In perfect scenario it is really enjoyable and fun to play, but..
- archaic client's architecture comes with new glitches and bugs with every patch
- some balance changes are absolutely pointless, no identifying real core of the issue
- law of jungle and bad community - and yes, flamers are not the worse part of it, at least some portion of it gets punished in some way, in worst scenario you can mute them. But there are also feeders, afkers, trolls who ruin your game experience on purpose and you can't do anything about it. You can report them but there is obviously no punishment for it, and Riot absolutely doesn't care about it. To be honest, it's one of the worst customer care in gaming history. All they focus is e-sport side of this game, and don't care about providing a friendly environment in any way in regular games.
So summing up, a lot of games feels like a waste of time. If you loose because of being outplayed - it's natural, but if you loose and waste 30+minutes just because someone feeds or trolls on purpose - it's just demotivating.
So in perfect scenario (no flame, no feed, no trolling) this game is 9/10, but since perfect scenarios tend to happen extremely rarely, 6/10 is max I can give, it's just more often frustrating than fun.

Been playing ever since the end of about late S2, and i can say that I have enjoyed playing league of legends, a lot. It's addicting, it's complex, it's frustrating... The first year I played league was just such a blur,.. coming from playing wow a bit and fps games, the controls and view was really weird. I barely knew what I was doing for a really long time ( tutorial **** back then), and on top of that there are some toxic kids that could ruin your whole experience when you just start out.
As i progressed onto ranked, it starting becoming more serious for me to play, and I actually had a better time playing it to be "ranked" into different divisions across your server. The only bad things i've experienced from then on out is just the trolls, afk's, toxic people, but at the moment it's definitely gotten better :D. As you get better at the game in ranked, you start to get way less of those people, luckily.
Plus, Riot games actually does care a lot about shaping the community, which is a big part of league,and does a fair job balancing all the champions, and making the game easily enjoyable when you don't have to put a single dime into playing it.

Overall this is a nice game. It is not perfect or original, but it's fun. I perfectly understand all the negative reviews, the community is a HUGE problem and ruins most of your matches.
Personally I can't stand the solo queue (AKA ranked matches playing with other people that you don't know), sometimes I find nice people to play with, they teach me and tell me what I'm doing wrong and what should I do, because they want to help me and want help to win. Other times, I find people that doesn't care at all of what are you doing, if they are playing bad then they are going to flame you because you didn't do this or that so it is your fault that they are dying.
For the game itself, It is still 6. The character rooster is great and each champion is truly unique, so each time you play it can be different. Most of them are balanced and if they aren't the game is patched pretty quickly introducing nerfs and buffs, but then, there are some champions that are so powerful that you can see them in the enemy team in every match (ex. in these months I've seen Yasuo in nearly ANY match I've played, and in draft picks he's always banned), and this can unbalance the game, but if you have a good team, you can still win.
This game is totally not Pay 2 Win, in fact, you can only pay with real money for skins and boosts, the rest can be purchased with in-game currency.
If you are looking for a game to play with your friends or you like competition, then download it, you will not be disappointed, but if you are playing alone and are easly annoyed by flamers, then avoid this game at all costs, it's just not worth it

League of Legends is an okay game, but it really doesn't excel at anything at all, except for it's marketing.
I have played the game for about 3 years now (climbed my way to the rank of Gold 2), and I finally uninstalled it a few months ago with no intentions of returning. It is an excellent time sink if you have literally no other game to play. I've played for hundreds of hours solo and with friends, and wasted plenty of money on useless cosmetic skins (protip: do not do this ever, it is a slippery slope.) I have a few friends who justify spending upwards of 20 dollars just to change the clothes their champions are wearing. Many of these microtransactions are completely ridiculous and overpriced, yet Riot seems to get away with it since their playerbase doesn't seem to care in the slightest.
Furthermore, in recent additions to the game, not only did they increase the base IP(points that you gain through playing the game that can be spent on unlocking champions) that new champions cost, they made the past five or six champions incredibly overpowered. I speculate that this chain of events took place in order to drive up their sales by forcing people to either use almost 10 hours worth of IP to unlock the champion, or shell out about 10 bucks to unlock the champion. Whether or not this was their intention, this practice seems exploitative of the consumers, as by the time these champions drop in price they have been through several nerfs and revisions that make them far less powerful.
Overall, as a consumer I can not recommend this game to anyone. It's guise of free-to-play comes with caveats, the community as a whole is incredibly rude and unwelcoming, and the gameplay is a bit shallow, with it's strict, repetitive metagame that Riot encourages players to follow to a T.
Credit where it is due, though, I have not really experienced too many game breaking glitches, and matchmaking is OK at best. However, due to the lack of perceivable fun in the game, I have decided to score it thusly.

I've been playing League of Legends for 2 years now and it's the main game I play. Even after 2 years their are so many things I havn't conquered and tried. With 121 champions their is really always something new to try.
The gameplay is really smooth but the map is descent. Currently the map is a bit unfocused and lacks some qualities that enable one to fully concentrate on the gameplay. Since RIOT takes feedback from players a new map is coming soon in season 5, which looks more modern designed compared to other mobas.
The game is really teamwork based and very competitive. Many of my friends play League and it keeps us having fun and enjoy the game even more. The competitive environment in League is immense. Their are many major events in League that inspires you to play League and keeps an interesting conversation with your friends. For instance, this year the Worlds Tournament's last game was held in a Korean Football Stadium, which was sold out and the whole field also packed.
Adding to the love for the game, League of Legends is the most popular MOBA on twitch. If you aren't playing league you are watching someone else play league.
The game is really easy to learn with a friend and very overwhelmed with all the skill shots and high graphic skills flying around during a teamfight. Their is always something going on in the game and you have to keep up with the fast paced gameplay(competitive). League is a fun game once you get used to the mechanics and ingame logics, where then you can exploit on your enemies. Another thing I would like to mention is the community and company works are really cool, you are constantly amazed by storyline videos, amazing highlights, community pop reels, Pro Interviews, and interactive website storylines.
Their is so much to talk about on this game. I'm just going to stop here for now. Just play the game and join the community!

WARNING: THIS GAME IS NOT FREE. I know friends that have thrown 100's of dollars to get the best champs. That's fine if you are buying it because he looks cool, but no, you are forced to buy the best champs if you even want to try to have fun in this game. Other than that, i think everything about the game is lack luster (especially the community and servers). What is really sad is that this is really the only "good" MOBA out there, except DOTA. But luckily the genre is getting a boost, and hopefully we can leave this lie behind us.

lots of these reviews are really old and the game doesnt seem to work well on older computers(every other game it will freeze but i can always "reconnect" to it) and it is free to play, you get new champs to try every week and you also win "IP" points every match to buy new champs with, i have been playing under 2 weeks and have unlocked 3 of the cheaper-ish champs and can use them permanently and that was without spending any actual cash. this is also a really difficult game, the main point is to not die, i got my skill up by playing against bots and now i dont "feed"(die alot) to the enemy faction. really hard learning curve but i have played EVE and not gone insane so i can learn this game as well.
Main point of all of this is, the game is fun with friends, it is difficult even with friends, it is free to play. even though you will want to spend money maybe to get a certain champion faster or to buy new "skins" to make your champ look different. otherwise if you like strategy games, because it takes "strategy" and knowing the proper way to use the abilities of a certain champion. you wouldnt go using a sniper rifle for up close combat in call of duty just like you wouldnt snipe someone with a shotgun. there are certain ways to use certin characters, play it for free, rage and quit, or get better and enjoy yourself, like me currently for free.

I'm playing this game for 4 years now, starting early season 1 and all I can say is that this is an amazing game with a horrible community, but all you have to do is to find 4 friends to play and mute the other team and this is certainly my most important pvp experience I ever found in an online game.

Sadly, it wasn't ultimately the toxic community, horrible champion balance/design among the majority of champions, absolutely screwed up beyond belief meta (especially top and the bruiser, currently), brain melting boring competitive scene on twitch with the same 12-16 out of a pool of 120+ champions, it wasn't the DC's or afks during games, the games that are absolutely awful and over yet a couple people on the losing team absolutely refuse to surrender and the enemy team refuses to push the issue and end the match in a less then century long time so yet another horrible match drags on forever, the awful reworks/mini reworks (olaf, cass, kass, etc), the ridiculous amount of highest priced champions, the ludicrous amount of skins and their increasingly ridiculous prices, it wasn't the servers that are down half the time, the occasional idiotic bug that disables a hero or game mode, the crazy amount of time to aquire the IP to fill out a bunch of rune pages AFTER you spent an crap load of time and/or money getting the rune pages in the first place. No, it was not those mountain of reasons why I ultimately quit the game. Surprising, no?
The reason why I ultimately quit the game was in soloq my personal experience with the awful, atrocious, horrendous, grotesque, abysmal, disgusting, cancerous, malignant, vomit-inducing, wretched abomination that they call the match making system, and the incompetent, ape-like, borderline **** people that would have the audacity to put such a system out there, call it "match making", and not feel the deepest soul-crushing shame to the point of suicidal thoughts as a result of the job they did. THAT is what made me give up on the game. When it got to the point where 95% of my soloq matches in blind, draft, even aram eventually became the epitome of what I would call "horribly not-fun", THAT is why I quit this god awful game, and you should too, or at least NOT consider playing it. ALL the money you spend, ALL the time and effort you spend is basically wasted unless maybe you can get to the very high tier such as master where I see people have to wait 5+ minutes for a game plenty of times. Are you ready to sink that amount of time, effort, and money to maybe have a chance at a decently enjoyable playing experience more then maybe half the time? Then try this game out.
Answer this question: Is a 50% win rate really a 50 win rate, if you have to bust your balls and "**** dog meat off the streets to survive" type of effort into every blood, sweat, and tears game that you win, every small win steak that you gave yourself heart palpitations to achieve, just to have IT ALL WIPED OUT, by a string of games that happens more often then your win streaks, given to you by the matchmaking where you have quitters, afks, laggers/dc's, horribly toxic aholes, completely screwed up matchups, lopsided skill/ranking matchups (I had bronzes and silvers on my team vs golds and plats as an example) and it seems to get more and more constant the more time and money you put into the game? As a sort of "F YOU" to you for spending time and money on their game, compliments riot? If you like the sound of that, give this game a try! Otherwise, avoid this game like it is cancer, aids, and ebola combined.
Go over to Dota 2, enjoy having the full compliment of heroes available so your money is spent on aesthetics as it should be, know that you have an at least half-competent game design and development company on your side so you wont be screwed by horrible balance, horrible designs, horrible metas and meta shifts, horrible matchmaking, horrible servers etc. etc. I could go on and on. Just save yourself so you don't end up down $100 and a bucket-load of sanity like me.

Who gives a **** about ratings when it comes to games like DOTA, Smite or WOW. When you look at the bottom rating, you will see that people are **** about the community. They have the rights to do that but, **** people is already a big part of today's LoL community. Look at people **** about everybody an d everything but doing literally nothing in a game. Thing that he or she is too much for a "noob team" like this.
Well, there are nice people too. But most of the time, you don't give a **** about people. You try to play this game right, better, and that's the purpose of it. Winning a game is something, but putting out some great moves, learning your character, or even failing is really fun. You can say the same for probably all moba games, but what makes League that good is its simplicity, and the versatility of the game. Every character has a different mechanics, playstyles, and actually creative ways of using spells unlike dota (sorry Russians). This game will never get repetitive. New champions, playstyles, builds... and new people, new flamers, kids, sociopaths etc.
****ing your life since 2010.

Selling champions really ruins the already simple gameplay.
At lower levels, and I mean after playing about 200 games to get to summoner level 20, you are still getting games where its mostly that week's free to play champions. Game after game you are stuck playing with/against the same handful of champions.
I'm not sure how it gets after you unlock ranked play at level 30, which is approximately 360 games which take 40 minutes each.
The champions aren't nearly complex enough to spend a week playing, you tend to get pretty good after just a few games.
If you somehow get an account with everything unlocked, its a pretty fun casual game to play every once in awhile, otherwise there are much better options.

I have been playing this game for about one year ant it never bores me. I play all nights with my friends like casuals and we have the most fun! This game may be needing graphics like some say but riot will soon implement a new map, Also the community isn't that bad almost all games are acceptable but the possibilities of having a rager are high. Some people can't control themselves and rage but that is not a problem of the game, that's a problem of the human himself .And by the way riot does the most possible to ban the ragers that troll using different methods like leaverbooster for afk or tribunal for negative and players that harass others. The "good" half of the community is very active in reddit and is helping riot finding bugs or they are giving requests and ideas that could improve the game. Finally i think this game will have a lot more years of activity and will be updating frequently with new gamemodes and champions every month or every 2 months.

I've played this game for over a year with 750 hours+ involved. It is a massive waste of time, each match is usually 45-1 hour or so. You cannot leave while playing the game or it will result in severe punishment. This is a great game for no lifers but to those who have a life not recommended.
The community in this game is Extremely Toxic, the most toxic i've ever seen, if you picked a wrong champion or if you don't do well (Keep getting killed by enemy team) your team will Insult, whine, flame and complain. In worse scenario you may even end up getting banned due to you being a bad player and all. it is very hard to tolerate the amount of toxicity there is within the community, soon one day you will also become one of them.
This game is good for 5 friends who are good/ active and wants to play together. However if you are playing Alone definitely not recommended or you will suffer like hell.

I will say that I was very unfair with this game when I first reviewed: I didn't exactly play a lot and I admit that it had some fun factor into it: me being a dota 2 player I didn't expect much, but I've been playing it lately and I've been enjoying it too.
So what I'll say is, the game is good and fun, and the fact that it's not as hard as dota 2 make is even more enjoyable sometimes: losing a game of dota 2 usually means lots of swearings, while here it's much more toned down and even when it happens, I just feel more relaxed here than in dota 2, with constant complaining.
But I still have the same issues as the last time:
1)The Champions/Heroes Design: I've checked all the characters available and, aside for a very VERY few, all of them are really bland and just flatout "uninteresting". Personal opinions aside, most of the characters jus tlook similar and/or just uninspired, even when they had the chance to be unique! For instance, Garen's the most generic kind of "paladin" you could see, Jinx is a copy of Cammy (no kidding, her hair is the same, and the face is almost identical) and Akali is the most generic sexy ninja you'll ever see.
Oh right, the game has a lot of fanservice: almost every female in the game is made to keep the guys "interested" in the game, to the point of making them completely boring: giant boobs, revealing outfits, sexy moanings when they die, sexy skins. Really? Well I guess people do love seeing a sexy character once in a while, but AT LEAST make them interesting!
If I have to pick some favourites, Twitch, Yasuo, Hecarim, Nasus, Shaco, Leona and MAYBE Lucian remain my most favourite looking heroes (I repeat, LOOKING, not skill wise) of all. They at least look different enough than most...
Oh, Soraka is a Draenei. That's all folks!
2) IT'S TOO EASY! I've played mostly two to four champions so far, but I really didn't feel any challenge at all while playing them: what was challenging was to get a group that wouldn't constantly die and feed the enemies. I play as Sona most of the times and even if we are able to push our lane, one or two people are dying so many times and feeding the enemies, resulting in a loss.
I just don't feel challenged in the end: it's a matter of who kills more at the start. And if your enemies are fed, you can basically kiss your match goodbye, because even an entire team can't stop him/her!
As a result, the hard part is to find a good team more than actually learning the champions themselves (which is also needed too, I'm not saying the opposite). However, considering this is an online game, bad people can constantly join in, and for bad people I mean people who think of themselves of being supreme beings above humans who think that they're the best.
While in the end me, the support, has the most kills...
In the end, It's a decent game and nice if you want a relaxing game.
But I still think Dota 2 is better in terms of challenge and skill.

Not a bad game, but it doesn't mean that is a really good game.
This is a MOBA arcade fire-like, unfair system and expensive stuff (you can buy with points of the game but the game obey you play more and more to get that points, you can also get points with real money), has a cartooned kids style and the people love this game beacause is fun, but not for me.

I've been playing for a couple years and this game has been going downhill.
Server spikes/lags/downage pretty often. Freemium model still in play. A lot of people have spent more money on this game. Graphics pretty bad. Your still playing in the swamp.
If you make a new account and play with a friend you will be r**** constantly. Without having full masteries, runes, and good selection of champs you can't really win your game. Toxic community also. Duh.

The most popular MOBA of all time, hell, most popular game of all time. Does it live up to its name? You bet it does.
LoL does a lot of things right, and several things wrong. Firstly, it's popular and has a lot of content, and on top of that, it's free to play. It is accessible and has a reasonable business model which encourages a lot of gameplay for the player.
The game now features over 115 heroes that can be customized with mastery "talent" trees and "runes" which let you empower your hero in different ways.
The complexity of the game is just perfect for both casual and competitive players, although most HoN and DOTA players would disagree and bash the game for being "too casual". But in my opinion, Riot really did remove the features that seemed to hinder the fun aspect of MOBA games (eg. denying your creeps).
The game also features unique hero and environment designs, accompanied by great user interface.
The learning curve is still there, and the lack **** tutorial and explanation of basic gameplay concepts. Also the client that the pre-game lobby runs on is old and buggy, and can really get on the nerves of some people.
I quit LoL a year ago as I have over 1500 hours clocked on it, and it got quite boring and repetitve, and it didn't help that Riot is scared of any major balance changes, and if they do them, they nerf instead of buffing, which gradually makes the game sillier and more boring to play in my opinion.
In my opinion, LoL is the best "all-round" MOBA experience, featuring complex gameplay and strategies without flooding the player with mechanics that hinder the core fun MOBA experience. The lack of tutorial and good lobby client is definitely a con until it's fixed.

Let's be honest, part of the hate against the game seems to be backed by the fact that many do not know how to build their champions and misunderstand the basic dynamics of the game expecting a non MOBA experience. Hence the distaste towards the game. Its a decent at best good experience.

I started playing League Of Legends during the season 1, and I'm quite happy to see how did this game changed.
To give you some numeric datas, there are more than 7,5millions players playing simultaneously in 2014, which is really higher than in 2013 (5millions), and it's the same for 2012 (3millions).
Those datas can clearly show that the total of active League of Legends players has increased a lot in less than 2 years, which means that there're more kids, but also more serious players. So that's normal if you don't find the mates of your dreams every game today.
Furthermore, League of Legends is a VIDEO GAME, it's useless to take it too seriously, you're not going to enjoy your time passed playing, so you still can change your mind. (I'm talking for the majority of the people criticizing the game without getting their own opinion).
About the content of the game, I won't criticize the price of skins, champions, runes, etc. Riot is a lucrative company. They're free to take the decision they want.
If you are a normal player, you're going to take several months, maybe years to understand how League of Legends works. The classic MetaGame changes every year, the "Op Champions" change almost every month too. It's almost impossible to get a perfect equality between every champions, Riot is working on it. Indeed, almost every week, patches are realised to correct this gap.
The maps we're playing in are re worked (principally the Summoner's Rift at the moment), the visual effects are not bad at all for a moba.
I guess you understood my opinion. Even if the community of League of Legends is a vicious circle ("You're a typical league of legends player, you don't respect the current meta in normal game, your champion is useless, report you"), I'm sure that people will be able one day to think by themselves and that they'll realize that they play to a VIDEO GAME.
To resume myself :
- I'm sure ththe community will grow up
-A lot of content in game, a bit repetitive, but the community finds some ways to do different gameplay (Teemo Ball, Ultimate Bravery, etc...).
- A large pool of champions you can play, which offers an strategic aspect to the game.
- Connexion issues for many people (maybe hard to host more and more people everyday).
That's all for my critic, I probably forgot to mention many details, it's not that easy to clearly explain yourself in English when you're French haha.
So, have fun everyone

Although this game has relatively strong game play and a competitive ladder, the infrastructure of their servers and community could not be worse.
For example, I recently played a game where 2 out of 5 players disconnected because riot was "experiencing latency issues". Instead of a loss prevented, we lost full point for a defeat. After trying to re-queue, I received the error message that ranked was disabled due to latency issues.

I have to say that the users who gave this game a bad review don't know what they're talking about. This game is a highly competitive one and requires putting time and effort into learning it. It demands more than a casual approach if you want to fully enjoy the game. League of Legends doesn't have a competitive scene with year round tournaments sponsored by big companies with attendance in the thousands in each event for nothing, and it doesn't get its praise from what the users describe as "bad graphics" or "that one guy on your team who thinks he's better than everyone". Part of the challenge is prevailing despite this one team mate, often not limited to just ONE team mate.
Not everyone is built for this game, as it requires many countless hours to learn and an even greater number of hours still to master. I highly recommend this game for people who are looking for a challenge and don't back down at the first sign of intimidation and frustration.

I can't understand people complaining about the game. It's now pay2win, I could buy you all the champions and you would never win a single game. Everything is strategic as hell, you need to practice a lot and learn the mechanics in order to take advantages of the champions and combos. Game-play is great, and graphics are enough. It's extremely addictive, I can't stop playing even when I lose. People saying it's repetitive, please just stop watching football and basketball, always the same map.

This game only deserves a 1 because it is functional. Aside from that not much can be said for any other aspect of this game. Firstly the game is not even cohesive with its menu system, you must trudge through 3 windows just to get to play the game itself. Games can be found quickly but for some reason people take 5 minutes to connect. Then you can pick from a selection of a few free champions for scrubs while the people who pay prance around with their best champions wiping the floor with people struggling to learn new champions before they are rerolled. This game reeks of pay to win with runes and masteries that give paid players advantages over those who don't cough up any cash. The graphics are awful and belong in the 90s as we'll as the community who are mostly ****

Probably one of the hardest games for a new player to get into. The levelling system (before you can play ranked games) is very slow and uneventful and new players will often have trouble as they get matched with smurfs/alts (players who already have an account and are levelling a new one) as the skill gap can be huge.
Once in the ranked ladder, most players continue playing to climb higher and although the game is relatively simple and repetitive, there is a significant amount of depth in the skills that are needed to get to the highest rankings. The large skill depth somewhat makes up for the fact that the game is superficially simple.
Sadly, the community is generally quite toxic in game, although there are a lot of groups of players who are helpful in providing advice for in game and are generally enjoyable people to be around.

League of Legends-Free to play MOBA. Hundred plus champions, fun playstyle. So what's the big deal about this game? It is addictive, and it is really fun. Riot is combating toxic players, not just with the tribunal, but with (I think) new ways of matchmaking and designing things that detect a toxic player. So what's the problem if Riot is improving their game? The problem lies in the community and repetitive gameplay. I rarely play on my own, because I play with my cousins, mostly.
All in all, good game, but if you want more fun, play with friends or family (cousins, brothers).

Good -
Polished combat and mostly balanced champions.
Not a pay-to-win, but houses one of the best online markets I've ever seen for a free game
It's free
Bad -
Terrible matchmaking discourages newbies from getting into LoL, due to Riot's inability to control smurfing. One of the most toxic player-to-player environments in-gaming. Trolls will thrive here.
Lax punishments for leavers, feeders, and trolls. Riot adds a 'file a complaint' system that ends up being pushed under the rug. I know this because I still will go through 3 games in a row where one player is doing poorly and rage-quits = the entire game is ruined and then to top it all off, teams are unable to surrender until 20 minutes in, meaning if it's 1v5, too **** bad.
Example from my last game - 3 of our teammates leave, making it impossible to cover all lanes. We win the match though because somehow the entire opposing team had pings over 600 so they couldnt control their champtions. I wasn't sure whether to be mad or rejoice.

Game itself is an okey introduction to dota gender, but that's about it.
Game is NOT competitive, just because how "pay to win'nish" it is. You can't have a competitive game if you need like 6000$ to access all the pretty things. You can't have a competitive game if the creator cycles the "free" part every week, leaving players who don't want to donate hundrets of dollars unable to compete in fair conditions. Each player is literally forced to pay each month just to keep what he or she had last week. Another very simple trick: release a new champion, just like one of the old ones, but with much better stats.
It doesn't have the deepness of dota, there are no "special" mechanics, player doesn't make as many meaningful decisions as he or she does in dota. This is, probably, a good thing, there're not so many gamechanging things happening overall. You can't fail hard, you can't win big - some people will like this, but I don't.
Visual aspect is, probably, individual, but if you're not an anime/cartoon lover you'll probably like dota2's graphics more. Just google up some screenshots and compare. Movies are insanely good - they probably costed more than the whole game itself, quality level is totally not the same.
I love the genre - don't get me wrong, any game in that genre already has to get a solid mark from me. But the issue with that one in particular is about the people running it. You'll never find anyone that greedy in gamedev at all. Not even Bliz who asks like 100$ for each expansion. Not even EA, or any other "pay 2 win" / "same old **** for 50$". People in the lead of riot did certain actions to destroy a few of the existing communities - some people are simply dangerous if they get the money - so please do NOT pay. Not to mention how well they "synthesize" numbers - pretty sure that is one of the main focus for them - to generate a ****load of "virtual" players/viewers.

Most of the reviews here are just flat outdated. After nearly 5 years of constant updates, the game is at an almost perfect state of balance, minimal server downtime, and a growing community that gets way too much criticism for what it is.
Riot has been constantly balancing champs, and even gives you the option of banning a champion if they are overpowered or hard to play against.
Most server downtime is caused by updates that occur at 3 am
If someone is bothering you, you can mute them, and report them to possibly be temporarily banned, muted, or, if they have a history, permanently banned.
Also, match making works fine now, no longer uses ELO, much more accurate
Only thing keeping it from 10 is that it is a hard game to learn, but riot is working on that too

I have played this moba for 2 years now and consider myself rather accustomed to this game.
To start off, this game has two ways of playing it: You can team up with random, real people against the AI, or you can play against others.
League of Legends until now is distributed into 4 maps, but is mainly played on it's most popular map, Summoner's Rift. On this map, you join 4 other players to take down the enemy's Nexus (basically the heart of their base). The game has a wide variety of balanced characters(champions) to choose from each with individual skills and gameplay. Also, before the match starts, runes and masteries help you buff your champion at the beginning or progressively at the end of the game, each game lasting approximately 20-45 minutes. However you need to unlock them one-by-one first. League is a free to play game with micro transactions, however it is not pay-to-win.
The graphics are decent, although they will be upgraded in a short while. Also, the game has numerous updates, keeping the community entertained.
Lastly, it has an enormous competitive scene with countless of thrilling tournaments.
This game can be tons of fun when played with friends in order to take down the enemy strategically and sometimes you can get a good laughter out of it. However, after playing the game for a rather long time, the gameplay becomes repetitive and rather boring. In addition to that, you often get matched up with rude, inconsiderate, flamers (people who use indecent language during the game). This can become a tremendous problem when trying to reach a higher place in the ranking system of League of Legends, therefore causing the game to be tense and not relaxing. It definitely requires patience and good morals to play the game, which in my opinion very few people of the community have.

League of Legends is a fantastic game. Most reviews here seem to be focused on the graphics. Why? There is absolutely nothing wrong with the graphics, (sure they aren't 10/10 but this allows people with 'not-so-good' PCs to play.) the game can still look awfully pretty. While there are few maps and game modes they don't seem to get boring, (I've owned LoL for over a year). And while the game doesn't seem very appealing at first you'll soon get addicted. Unlike most free to play games, this is NOT a pay-to-win. Sure, you can use real money to get things faster, but it really doesn't take too long to get the characters you want. Not only this, but each week plenty characters are free allowing you to test them before buying them. Overall this is a great game, and the only reason I'm not giving it a 10/10 is because of the community. Almost every game you'll get into will be full of someone raging, or someone purposely feeding. This isn't really Riot's fault, but they could at least cracking down on these users.

I've enjoyed playing League of Legends the last couple of years, and this game never get's old. It's balanced pretty well, and the devs are constantly fixing bugs and balancing the game as they add new content, such as more Champions.
It is a really addictive game to play, and alot of fun with friends. You can form a ranked 5v5 or 3v3 team to play in a competetive ranked match.
Pros
- Good learning curve for new players
- Addictive game
- Fun with friends
- Ranked system
- Every champion can be bought for in-game money (Rest is purely cosmetic skins you can buy for irl money
- Balanced game
Cons
- Sometimes (Sometimes very often) you encounter players that doesn't care about your team and starts trolling (Feeding on purpose etc)
- Games can be extremely frustrating because of what i've mentioned just above
- Alot of people is smurfing (Having a lvl 30 account, then making a new one) making it hard for new players to find the game fun at times.

The game itself is really good, RIOT's employees are great and the LCS (pro-league) is awesome. The only thing that made me stop playing this game is the community, honestly it'd be better if there were no chat at all and everyone just communicated through pings. From my experience 1 out of 5 players is nice (personality-wise), 2 out of 5 are not that bad (or don't write in chat at all), and the other 2 out of are completely toxic, blaming everyone for their mistakes and calling you words I didn't even know were insults.

I'm not sure how you are able to play this game when you die in 1 or two hits from players that seem to be way more powerful. This is not really a fair strategy game. Its not incentive for new people to play. Also there was not much communication going on in the game. The game is also full of text everywhere which is completely overwhelming for a new player. The shop at the home base and the spells are pretty busy. This has similar problems of a typical RPG except it isn't an RPG. There is some cool fighting going on with similar movements to other RTS games, but the core gameplay doesn't seem to be much. You go in and get decimated by powerful players. End of story. Lastly I refuse to play a game that bans me for playing, and then having to bow out of a match. Games seem to be very long, longer than a physical game would go without any break. Overwhelmingly I can't see why someone would spend longer than 20 minutes getting into this when there are faster action games to play, and better strategy games out there. But its at least playable and runs well on old hardware, unlike DOTA. So its better than DOTA, but I can't say this game is fun at all. You'd have to be kind of **** to think this game is fun.

I decided to update my review after I've been away from the game for awhile. I began playing in 2009. I thought it was amazing and quickly became addicted. Over the next 4 years I put well over 1000 hours into the game. I finally uninstalled it in fall 2013 and haven't looked back.
This game WILL anger you. This game WILL frustrate you. This game WILL end up wasting a lot of your time. Whether its the queues, ragers who throw out games, or the fact that you're locked into games for a solid 30+ minutes, there's a LOT of time that goes down the drain. Out of my 1500 hours I probably sat around wishing I wasn't in a particular match, or waiting in queues, or being extremely frustrated for about 200 hours. This is a generous estimate btw, it was most likely more time.
After I finally uninstalled the frustration in my life cleared up. I get along more easily with people and I no longer feel like I'm wasting time when I'm playing video games (even though it technically is a waste, haha).
The game is fun, but I believe the MOBA genre is too new, it needs to be refined.

There are some key differences between LoL and Dota 2 which makes me think League of Legends is a better game (even if the developers are a bunch of massive, censorshipping, controversal cu nts) and I'll do my best to state these below.
1. The way gold is handled: a) In Dota 2, If you die with any significant amount of gold, you are guaranteed to lose at least 20-50% of it (and even all of it in some cases) on a frequent basis If you do not seemingly micromanage your shopping through a celluar phone before dying. The mechanic itself is stupid and pays no thought whether the gold being stolen is from someone that has no items at all or minimal income and relentlessly penalizes them by repeatedly taking away the little resources they have. This becomes severely painful if you play a support character since many of the items they need are quite expensive and once you die maybe 1-2 times with 500-1000+ gold, you're majorly crippled for the rest of the entire game. LoL has none of this and you keep every penny even If you die repeatedly as the one who kills you gets a simple bounty.
b) In Dota 2, there are unwritten rules that It is mandatory for any support character to constantly empty their pockets in order to buy things such as couriers, wards, dust of disapperance/decept and sometimes even excessive tango (healing items). Sure, this makes sense as they do not have the biggest emergency to aquire items. Then.. Having the duty to buy these things and almost never be able to last-hit creeps/NPC's would be a fair point to make the assumption that support characters would have some additional support of income, no? Wrong. Dota 2 spits in the face of anyone who wants to play support by giving them the slowest possible income of any heroes and stomping them into the ground whenever they die, taking all the little gold they have. It's utterly moronic and creates nothing but conflicts in the form of certain support characters wanting a few dibs on last-hitting enemy heroes for quick cash or just trying to farm creeps by themselves. LoL balances this out significantly by allowing support characters to buy certain items that grants them extra gold whenever they're close to a mob dying that they did not kill. While the ones killing do get more gold, It is the best step possible to balancing things for people that want to play a supporting role while also giving everyone in-game free items that create wards, meaning less mandatory cash spending If you support.
c) In Dota 2, you can buy items at any time and anywhere during the battle and have your purchases delivered to you by a courier. Getting the courier to begin with for gold creates an unnecessary cash-pool for supports to throw money into, renders most stuff like boots of travel extremely undesireable (except for moronic be-everywhere-at-once tactics for certain heroes) and leaves every visit one takes to the town fountain to be due to surviving with 1 hp left from a battle. This mechanic also causes imbalance in the game itself by making strong recovery items be insanely valuable, especially the Heart of Tarrasque which boasts a whopping 80% winrate to whomever manages to purchase it as seen on the multi-million statistical website, Dotabuff. And even with that, you have to consider the dozens of new player who buy wrong items for wrong heroes or just people trolling & feeding and causing intentional losses. It's true stat could easily be 85-90% winrate.
2. Matchmaking: I'll be blunt. The match-making in Dota 2 does simply NOT WORK. For ANYONE. It more than frequently matches up complete beginners with people boasting 300-2000+ hours into the game and often slaps up groups with people up against soloers. This used to be somewhat bearable as there was an option before the "Give Diretide" incident to disable all grouping in the settings but now It's been removed as the MM is still horribly broken and ontop of that, also very uncustomizeable. While LoL is of course not without fault, It has a much, MUCH more stable MM where the only times you'll meet elites is when you partner up with one.
3. Balance/Gameplay: The devs in Dota 2 has repeatedly shown their complete and utter incompetence in all matter of balance, be it not properly using their public testing servers or just not giving a damn about facerolling heroes such as Mirana, Drow Ranger, Death Prophet, Pudge, etc whereas LoL has huge tendencies to have gigantic flip-overs in games where one team will immensively be winning (due to some rather seemingly overpowered early-on heroes) just to be overwhelmed later in in the game since LoL allows everyone to really flesh their builds out thanks to no gold loss on death. I've personally lost count on how many times my team wanted to surrender, played 15-30 more minutes and ended up winning by a mile thanks to teamwork and coordination from being repeatedly defeated. LoL also boasts a MUCH better response time in moves.
Character limit, But TL:DR = LoL is best.

Its hit the point of DDoS or 9 of 10 people trolling that this game is virtually unplayable.I have been playing since this game was in beta and for a long while this game was great, now it is just terrible to play with. Riot cares little of the players and only of their "balance" that generally breaks the game as opposed to fixing it.. Dont waste your time.

This game is so frustrating. Yes, its addicting but the community is either troll or toxic. Forget the forums to actually bring up issues, riot barely responds and troll users surf the forums. The east coast server is garbage and is ALWAYS laggy and disconnecting. The balance in the game is garbage, only a handful of champs are even play worthy and they are incapable of actually balancing champions and items. Your win rate is based soley off of your teammates because one single teammate can be enough to throw the whole game and the matchnaking system is a huge joke.

It seems that most of the commenters are haters and i can understand that. Most of them are hateful DOTA fans, others were just playing at the wrong ELO and others are graphic addicts. I like LOL how it is: Imperfect. the graphics is going to change soon, and the tribunal will be back to enliminate the ragekids and trolls. League of legends gets better by the day, and after the visual update, i think it will outrun DOTA. I've played DOTA for nearly 1 month and i found it incredibly un-optimalized. But hey, that's just my opinion. Nonetheless, League of Legends gets better and better and i just can't wait for the updates. While in the beginning LOL had crappy graphics, imbalanced champs, and lots of bugs, today it is the best MOBA you can have. (For Free!)

One of the worst notable MOBAs available, while at the same time, clearly because of dark magics and Riot sacrificing the souls of its employees to Satan, the most popular one. Why is it popular? Well, because it's simple. It's actually absolute faceroll up to high platinum, some games feel like you're playing with bots.
Now, maybe I should start out by pointing out the positives about LoL?
OK, so this game is fun... if you're playing with friends. Except there are hundreds of games that are way more fun with friends. This argument is completely irrelevant, **** is not fun without friends, then it's just not fun, so when someone tells you "LoL is fun when you're playing with friends", you can tell them just that. Every game is fun with friends. LoL is the epitome of an anti-fun game. The community is by far the worst community that was and ever will be, not even **** had scumbags the likes you meet in every LoL match.
So, that's about the only positive I can think of regarding LoL.
Now, the negatives. Oh, boy. I think I'd have to write that review for 2 hours just to get this right.
The servers are absolute mess. For 2 years now EU players are waiting for DECENT (not even perfect, just DECENT) servers. Back when I played, EU West had queues almost every day and there were regular lagfests, twice a week was pretty much a minimum. Riot is a multi-billion dollar company, and it's unable (or rather, unwilling) to deliver EU players proper servers.
Balance. Or rather - lack of balance. There are a few champions that are broken by design and countless nerfs just can't fix them. There are dozens of champions that are underpowered and as such are never, ever, picked in competitive scene. Compare that to DOTA2, where pretty much every character is very much playable in competitive scene, and you'll get the picture. There are also champions that are inherently OP and can do twice as much as the UP ones with half the effort. And then, instead of trying to balance the game, Riot is busy adding more champions that only ruin the game ever further.
The client. Oh god, the client. Such a terrible piece of **** It's laggy, often unresponsive, clunky and... Damn, words can't express how bad the LoL client is.
The community. Oh wait, I talked about that already. Just let me say again, LoL's community is the gutter of PC players' pool. During my whole 8 years in WoW I have not met as many antipathic, toxic, immature, despicable and mentally unstable human beings as I have in a week in LoL (I played LoL for over 2 years, so you can get the picture). And then WoW community isn't exactly known for being social, polite and helpful, neither.
The game is P2W. It is literally IMPOSSIBLE to farm up for everything you need to start playing ranked games. It just can't be done. A year or so ago I've read a chart that explained how long you'd have to play to get all champions and runes in game. It was over a year worth of time. A year of your life. You'd have to work full time for 3 years to unlock everything without buying RP. If you don't have runes and most champions, you are at a disadvantage in competitive play. This is pure P2W.
Oh well, I don't have time not space to write much more, so I'll leave it all at that. Stay away from this game, it's simply not worth the time and nerves.

One of the worst experience I had on videogames.
I Have played this game since S2 , and with the time the game is just getting worse.
The community is toxic, no matter what you do or what they do, they flame everything. mostly of them have no Idea of playing the game or know the metagame but the flame.
the servers are absolute garbage, the client , even worse, 90's games have better graphics, clients and servers than this ''game''.
Unbalanced. Well, at first you think that all champions have strenghts, but with the time you realize that there are just 3 champions on every role that outperforms the entire champion pool and are totally broken, a bad player with an extremely op champ can easy win against an average player with a mediocre champ.
The game is just fun when leveling and learning or playing with friends, when you try to play seriously and meet the community in rankeds and realize that the game is just bad, the gaming experience becomes horrible.

This is a game that never bored me. I've been playing it for 2 years and to me, I can't compare it with DOTA. These are just simply two different games and a war between this two will never stop. Overall the user score should be way up and should not be taken seriously. This game is addicting, once you start it may be a bit unfair since a lot of players on high levels are playing on another account. But when you get higher, the game becomes more and more addicting. The urge to rise on the ladders and becoming one of the best is so high that eventually you will be playing at the top too.
Give this game a fair chance and maybe you will be playing it too, it's fun once you get into it.

As someone who has played both League of Legends and Dota 2, I can say that of the two I would prefer to play Dota. Now, that does not mean that LoL is a bad game, it just means that I think that Dota mechanics make more sense.
League offers a larger community of players with a gameplay based almost entirely on items. Abilities of the player are made stronger only through the items that are bought and hardly at all through leveling. The rune system is pretty much pointless until the player reaches level 20 and can purchase the Tier 3s, but even then they will have played against people with an advantage due to their runes and masteries. Plus the player has to either earn enough IP to unlock champions or purchase RP to unlock them.
In Dota, all of the champs come free to play, and the only items that the player purchases with real money are character sets. In game the character scales based off of leveling. Also, something that League has just gotten around to adding; Dota has had an in-game voice chat since the release and if someone is being toxic there is a mute button for chat and in-game text chat. There are no runes or masteries that give seasoned players any advantage over newcomers, and the game is based more on skill than it is dependent on runes and masteries.
Overall, League has a larger player base, but Dota has superior gameplay opportunity.

Like many other popular games this game has too many fanboys and too many haters,its always being loved or hated for all the wrong reasons.
One thing people complain about is the simplicity, yes it is simpler then DotA, no its not simple, and being simpler then DotA doesn't make a game bad in any way. LoL has complexity that is different to what DotA has that most people, especially DotA players, don't understand, or don't want to understand, while being simple enough for people who are new to the genre or don't have enough time to practice and learn something more complex and hardcore.
LoL has a perfect imbalance, but many players just don't get how it works so many will complain about OP champions too.
Another thing people complain about is the way LoL does free to play, but thats mostly idiots who think that free to play must be only done in the one way their favorite company does it, or that f2p is evil and should be never done.
The real problem LoL does have is its horrible community, its better for more people, theres a larger audience that keeps growing, plus its a genre where team play and communication are important, so obviously there will be lots of stupid people, and you will meet some of them. But its not the worst community, its not as bad as DotA for example.

Good Game? Far from it.
First, as is often the case with F2P MOBA games, most people are snob and toxic, no one can fix it, you have to find more than 4 people who can trust and play with, if you want to ENJOY the game.
Second, the balancing is horrible, I really can't believe they have a PBE server to test things, almost every new champ or item brought to live server is broken and so game-changing.
It seems there are no logic or principle behind their balance, just pumping out new things to keep people playing.

This game is currently the most popular MOBA for several reasons : It is colorful, more simple to handle than most of its counterparts, and as such less frustrating. There is a lot of content, and even after several years, more new content is coming.
Still, LoL, was one of the first great game where "Pay2Win" was not possible, and as a lot of games later came out trying to do this same system, it feels better to start playing F2P without having to hand in 50 bucks to get a small advantadge.
The issues in this game can be summed up in one sentence. Riot underestimate greatly the growth of the playerbase's size. This lead to very specific points being fixed, turning into champions getting gutted or overpowered because Riot tries too much too answer a plead from what turns out to be a small part of the community.
As such, the community in this game is unbearable. Ragers, leavers, griefers, squeakers turn a lot of game into a living hell.
Play this game with friends. That's all.

This game will make you rage, you have to have a high tolerance for a lot of ego bursting kids who think they are the best at the game. If you can survive that aspect of the game then you will find that it is actually quite fun. For a moba game its simple and user friendly, the amount of content this game has is extremely high considering the developers seem to be adding and increasing champions, etc… weekly. There are some balance issues but that goes with almost all online games. It is extremely competitive game and has little to no casual gameplay to it. Everyone thinks they are the best and if you don't match their standards they will let you know. Makes this game have one of the worst online communities out there.
Gameplay: Simple, Clean, easy learning curve and free to play which means anyone can enjoy it. There really is no pay to win in this game as all champions can be unlocked with time. Online only game as there is no single player and the community is evil for the most part. Very few people are willing to help and considering this game is completely revolved around teamwork it makes for a hard environment to have fun. If you can manage to get a group of friends then this game can be a blast.
Replay Value: High, every match plays out differently. Tons of champions to play and choose from, different team variations. Should keep you busy for as long as you are enjoying the game.
Overall im mixed on this game, game is fun and enjoyable to play with friends. Yet the community really ruins this game and makes for some impossible to win situations as trolls are plentiful.

League of legends confused me for a while because i could not figure out why it was fun. It is really addicting and the game works pretty well multiplayer due to the small amount of players and easy spectating.
the thing is, how do you actually get good at this game? most games it makes sense, you understand the underlying strategy and improve a few useless skills (reflexes, aim, memory). in LoL though you have to learn how to position yourself with a tiny window of view and clunky controls, memorize other champions skillset and counters, use reflexes to last hit, and multitask watching the minimap, creeps, and enemy team. its a **** of random **** the teamfights are also extremely confusing with it being almost impossible to tell what is going on until it is over. so why is it fun to play? it seems that because of the almost random mechanics caused by champion counters, snowballing, lag, random teams, and no one paying attention to itemsets, everyone can do extremely well or extremely bad, so everyone gets the chance to be a pentakilling 50/0 champ. and because of human nature people only remember how good they can be. making it fun to play for everyone, because everyone thinks they are good at it.

So to start off, I've played this game for well over 2 years, maybe even 3. 2 years ago, I tried this game because I had a friend who's been playing since closed beta, and raved about it saying how awesome it was.
I started playing, and yeah, it was okay. I got better, and had some fun because I had friends to play with, but once I started doing solo matchmaking, the game started to show it's true colors. Riot has to be by far the worst company in terms of game development that I have ever seen people take seriously.

You have to learn to play the champion, you have to learn the map, and you have to communicate with your teammates to win the game.

Unbearably convoluted and poorly structured, this game has absolutely no player balance, and suffers from multiple glitches. A few prime examples of this abhorrent failure would be: When you cast something at a mob (because you literally have to farm pve mobs, really?) the turret will kill what you've already casted towards, negating your cast and placing it on cooldown (GREAT JOB). It doesn't help Physical damage casters have Mana (REALLY????). I digress. Overall, this game is a failure. Avoid it.

Mkay, not sure why there is so much hate on this game. I have a dependable ISP in a major US city and and i5 laptop, and rarely experience connectivity issues.
That aside, the game itself is really fun! It reminds me of the PVP competitions on Diablo II back in the day. This game is really just a cleaver revision of PVP combined with the dota mods from WC3. The cooperative aspect reminds me of online play in D2 as well, but it also reminds me of a modded mode in Starcraft where friends and myself would play 4v4 and give each player a unique 'avatar' unit with huge states and self- healing abilities. Sound familiar?
And for those who claim that DOTA is better b/c it's original; in 2002 I played a modded game on Starcraft: Broodwars, called BunkerWars. The concept of the game was that you had continuously respawing soldiers in or around a terran bunker, and your enemy had the same. The goal was to destroy the enemy's bunker before yours was destroyed. So don't get too upset about DOTA being copied. The MOBA game concept was around long before WC3 even existed.
As for the toxic player community. That just comes with the territory. Being anonymous means not giving a **** Play some Club Penguin if you want a nice social atmosphere.

I have been playing this game for nearly 3 years now, and I have to say that I don't like the state that the game is currently in and the way it is going. LoL had its best times in season 2, but since then continually got worse. I was deep into the pro scene and ranked at high platinum, so I do have some insight into the game.
First off, this game is rather easy to get into if you compare it with other MOBA's. The reason why most MOBA players consider LoL rather "easy" is because the gameplay is very straightforward. It removed things like denying (killing your own creeps), destructible environment (trees), different shops etc. compared to its spiritual ancestor "DotA". Which is not a bad thing at first. The problem however is, that the developers removed every other demanding tactical element of the game one after one:
-New champions and reworked older champions become one trick ponys; almost no champion allows different playstyles anymore because there is one way of building/playing him that makes all alternatives pointless. Players call this "meta" and Riot (the developers) more and more enforce said meta, which I consider a bad thing, since it strongly limits your playstyle, forcing you into roles, itembuilds, etc.
-The itempool is extremely limited at the moment. Compared to DotA, the items in LoL lack some form of uniqueness. Over the past seasons, the developers continually removed items that were out of line or too weak. Newer items were useless in most cases. There are items that simply do nearly the same thing, with one item being superior however. There are items that just fit certain roles and types of champions too perfectly. All this leads to a poor diversity in itembuilds: You will see ADC's build the same items in 9/10 cases, you will see midlaners build one of two itemcombos 10/10, you will see toplaners get the same 2 items in 9/10 cases. Junglers and supports get enforced on specific "support" and "jungle" items, as even the developers call them. And at least 30% of the items you will almost never see built by any semi-experienced player.
This combined leads to overall very thin item diversity between all players that played enough games to understand at least a bit of the meta, and increasingly thin champion diversity the higher the level of play is. As an example, within a typical week of LCS, the eSports league of the game, you will see (from a pool of 120 champions) around 60-70 of them being not picked at all, 30-40 of them being picked 1 or 2 times, and around 20 being picked or banned almost every game. This differs between roles aswell, midlane and jungle have the most "viable" champs, while there are at the moment only 3-4 viable toplaners and marksmen. This is because of serious issues in balancing. The game designers fail at balancing at a reasonable level, which is why you will see certain champions being catapulted up and down in strength on every patch, which happens way too often. Why spend money on a skin for a certain champion when he can become completely unviable or reworked within the next month?
Also, the developers flattened out the champion power overall compared to "DotA". You wont see any gamebreaking abilites, extreme manacosts or 1vs5 hypercarrys when extremely fed. This is at first not a bad thing, as it leads to a higher need for teamwork, but it also has disadvantages: The game is sometimes too forgiving, and a vast portion of tactic in laning phase is removed, often reducing it to pure mechanical skill. Especially the current meta in pro play is extremely boring, super safe lanes that do nothing but farming gold from minion kills until the 20 min mark, and then the game breaking down in 2 or 3 importan teamfights. (for example the developers made it unworth to get objectives (epic monsters and towers) in early game, even when most of the community and pro players told them it was a bad idea)
All this champion and item problems lead to the developers only being able to balance the game by numbers, which often results in said meta enforcing and poor diversity.
Other aspects of the game:
+ paying model is fair and functional
+ runes add to strategy and diversity
+ the eSports scene is big and accesible
+ the game is especially fun with friends and has some different gamemodes for casual players
+/- graphics look more and more stale, being mostly unupdated since 3 years, but the game runs very smooth as a result
- the community is at least 50% immature flamers that all want you to get cancer on doing a mistake, report you if you play bad and all did your mom
- the developers dont really care about the community, especially on the EUW shard. The forum has almost no developer communication at all.
- the servers have frequent problems
- more and more players consider the game to be on a downhill trend, also some retired pro players
- event content is more and more often effortless
- the banning system is poorly functional
- the air client is outdated and unstable

League of Legends is a MOBA style game and is one of the best online competitive games I've played. It requires lots of strategizing and planning, cooperation with your teammates, quick thinking and ability to time and place actions accurately. It's free to play, and everything gameplay-wise can be earned without paying. It requires a rather fast computer to be able to play effectively, and games tend to take a while, so don't play if you can't finish the match. The game is rather difficult to get into, as there is a lot to it to learn and get better at, and it's rather slow going when it comes to unlocking new champions to use. There is a lot of customization involved, so you can definitely use your own play style, but this is also dangerous if you don't know much about what you're doing. Overall, it's a fun, well-designed competitive game, and I highly recommend it to those who have the time. If this review was the most helpful source of information on this game you've found, please refer Tempestrie.

I've read many other terrible reviews all scoring 10 or 0. For some reason outdated reviews for a constantly updated game still counts? This game is updated at least every month and ads 3 or 4 new champions a year to spice up the game. Not only that but occasionally add new game types as well for players to go crazy. It's not that this game is unfair, its played at tournaments, its just that its hard to get good. this game can be quite hard if you aren't fully equipped with a good PC often leading to the many misleading user reviews. this game is amazing and if you're always looking for something new try playing a different champion. the gameplay is very addictive and fun when played right and can also be frustrating learning to play well can be quite a challenge but is worth it once you mastered your personal way of playing. Keep in mind that riot's only form of income is its riot points that are only useful for buying skins, everything else is a waste, because its free to play which means you can play it now! So go play and judge for yourself whether you enjoy it or not.

Very enjoyable game. I spend hours playing this game every week. Excellent gameplay. The free-to-play model work fine, as no real money is needed to fully play this game. The ranked game allow to keep a goal even after hitting level 30. Riot put a lot of effort improving the community interaction with the tribunal.

I've read some of the reviews others have written and I'd like to address some of them in my own. First of all, someone criticized the fact that although there are a variety of champions, there are only two maps. While this is true, I do not see this as a fault, but rather a feature. Focusing on two quality maps with precise attention to detail (e.g. using the flash works at precise thickness of objects, champion abilities, what have you) allows you to focus more on gameplay and strategy.
Secondly, someone wrote that they wish there was a way to mute people who rage. Well, there is a way. You simply click on their name and press mute. Furthermore, there is a tribunal system in place which allows users to report negative players, be it that they are toxic or feeding, or afk. Members of the community then review the case and chat and place judgement on the case.
Someone else wrote that it was imbalanced. I would argue quite the contrary and say that it's probably one of the MOST balanced games out there. You can review statistics of wins based on each champion, and as you'll notice, the community does a great job at reporting champions that are too buff, or fixing glitches, what have you. Furthermore, in ranked games, there are 3 bans per team, so if your team leader thinks that a particular champion (or 3) are overpowered, they can be banned.
Finally, I would like to close by saying this...League of Legends is a community based multiplayer online battle arena game which is free to play, no strings attached. I love this game and though it does have some minor issues once in awhile, if you take the time to learn about it, odds are you will appreciate it for the work of art it really is.
PS for everyone who is mad that it's a rip off of DoTA, all I have to say is the developers took an awesome product and made it even better. Get over it.

I would highly recommend this highly popular moba that is driving forward the genre overall not Dota 2. The game is fun to play with friends and is a blast if you decide to play it competitively thanks to ranked que. Yes the games community can be frustrating but that is not from the games fault. The amount of hours I have played on this game is insane and the best thing? Its free!

The game is pretty good but it has a terrible community. Every step you meet a flamer. The graphics are a bit childish. I admire Riot Games for the fact that with the number of characters they managed to keep the balance. Of course there are bugs but the MOBA game does not? Overall I would recommend and I wish you well for the future.

Worst game EVER!
-The community ****, there are flamer in ever game!
-The game is buggy, it crashes ever thrid time i try to get into a match. Seems to be an issue with win8 or something.
-Its laggy! The EU West Server laggs horrible. There are days where u have to wait more than 90 minutes in the login queue
-Its unballanced! Every new champ is overpowerd when its released and gets nerfed after a few days or weeks. So that everone buys him with real money
-It kinda "pay to win" (not much, but a little bit). There are champion skins (which u need to buy with real money) that have animations on there spells which are neraly impossible to see. So an enemy cant dodge them.

By watching live streams on twitch at the game competitive side i see that it has a big potential to climb even higher on the e-sports scene
The tribunal is a good system to keep the toxic players at bay unlike it's competitor system....I had a better experience with the community so far and the game requires you to actually play and unlock a number of champions before even trying to play competitively on ranked matchmaking level your summoner also it's the perfect place to defy the meta
The game has more accessibility and more ways to play with your chosen champion it has variety and good mechanics and abilities
League offers a lot more to players which seeks a competitive game and also a casual ,relaxing and fun experience
It's a pleasant game for newcomers and the tutorials are good
Rotating weekly free champions are a great way to play other champions rather than 1 or few over and over again also new champions released once in a while

This is an honest review of the game. From what I have read, most of the reviews on this site are mostly people who hate the game because they have not played it that long/people that are raging because they don't know how to play that well or people who have clearly not played that many other games and think it's the most amazing game in the world. (There are some decent reviews though, Hint: Most of the 10/10s are the ones I was talking about being the ones that have not played many other games)
This game is not bad, but it has a low metacritic average *for a game this popular* for a reason: because it's not that good. No, it isn;t because of graphics, yes there are a few broken champions (Not that many though. I don't overuse the word few. There are hardly any, but they are still there.), but this isn;t why the game is overrated. The combat in the game could be so much better, but it isn't. I'm not trying to sound biased, (not invoking a Dota vs League argument here, just using this as an example) but play Dota 2 for a while, learn how to play, and compare the 2's combat system. Ever notice how League's combat system is not as satisfying? Ever notice how League of Legends is based more around how good you are with a champion than actually being good at the game? This game is also not that hard, anyone who tells you that is lying. I have no difficulty in fighting 4v5s and winning or being ona feeding team and turning it around when the enemy team has the advantage. This game is incredibly easy once you learn the basics.
The main reason why this game is not so great is because it tried to be an improved Dota (which it could have), but the changes they made thinking they were improvements are what makes this an overrated game that and the combat system is barely above average. Is this game addicting? Yes. Is it great? No.

LOL is the best MOBA I have ever played. It is very interesting with wide choice of heroes and great matchmaking. There are a few mods in the game. All of them are awesome.
Some mods, like ARAM, brings to you a lot of fun. Playing LOL with friends is a great choice hoe to spend your free time when the weather outside is awful.
Every month Riot Games makes new interesting champs with their unique abilities. You can customize your champ with the help of a large amount of items in the shop, masteries and runes. 2 same champs can become absolutely different after putting marks, runes and buying items. Also there are 2 additional abilities, which you can choose before every game.
Play and enjoy!

MY SCORE 49 The game is good, a good revolution of MOBA's This is a good game and I played it recently and at its release even if I didn't have much interest in the game. I prefer DotA but even that can be insult to LoL players but we have to consider this 5 was a 6 if the review was made years ago but the games get decayed, games can be compared to life, not all games can be the most popular game ever and players should get used to it. This game has great mechanics not focusing not that much being a esport, but their hurry in making new content ends up in having some inbalances and nerfs. LoL can't be a "full esport" because some mechanics are fully recostumized I mean new items that influence game. This is a very good game to play casually and if you want esport and more dificult and dedication you will probably end up in DotA.

In the battle of DOTA2 v League of Legends League of Legends wins my vote.
The game looks nice, runs great on a wide variety of machines. The tutorial sets you up nicely knowing how to play a basic game. The leveling and leagues are fair, although a little dragged out to get to "Ranked" matches. HOWEVER...
The community on this game is VERY bad and VERY abusive. Example, you finish the tutorial, go in a game against bots, so it is just you, 4 other humans vs team bots. These games a usually full of people who are claiming to be "top level" and basically just want to show off that they can try and win a game on their own, getting a massive kill streak. They abuse new players, offer no help and just constantly moan and complain. It gets even worst when you play in the real online matchmaking. If you played this game with 4 other friends, constantly together on the same team, it would be worthy of maybe a 9 or 10/10! but seriously, go see for yourself how bad the abuse and community is.

Further plagued by horrible tech support, very rare refunds for purchases (even if it's their fault). The game is repetitive, boring, and unfair for newer players. I played until level 30 (the max level) so I can say that.

Worst free 2 play implementations of any of the mobas. You will never be able to afford more than a color swap for a single champion unless you buy skins for the ridiculous price of about 10$ each. Some of them cost as much as 20$. You also only get to pick from the 10 free champions of the week until you play A LOT of games and manage to buy yourself more.
The game also lacks the diversity, balance and depth other mobas have with people picking out of the same 20-30 champions every time. Also the meta is stuck that if you do not have 1 tank top, 1 ap carry mid, 1 ad carry and support bot and 1 jungler, someone's gonna get reported.

A great game, very fun and addictive. It's hard to get the hang of when you start. A very complex game that requires dedication. The ranking system however can be frustrating. Ranking is based on your skill level but also the skill of your teammates. Matchmaking is extremely unbalanced so many great players are left not being able to progress. Many new players have to deal with high level players making new accounts to play on called 'smurf' accounts, which can be frustrating. It's a rewarding and addictive game once you get involved. I've been loyal to it since 2009 and can say it has come very far and continues to impress. Other than it's extremely toxic and childish community, the game itself is rich and complex and very well design.

First off, this is actually a very good game, good mechanics and diverse gameplay from over 100 unique champions. There are champions to suit every skill level. Graphics, sound, in game shop and the completely viable option of playing this game without spending a single cent makes this game great.
However, what brings this down is the ever present lag and awful community of trolls, noobs who act pro and those annoying people who try desperately to steal your kill and call ks when they fail miserably and then report you. In the end, you get warned for not letting people step all over you. It is the community that really drives people away. What with leavers, outright A-holes and just trolls all over, it is no wonder all my friends left the game.

This game despite what the people who have played for 5 minutes and have dismissed as terrible is a well balanced and fun game, people seem to be stuck on the fact that there are powerful champions that always get picked but every champion has its weaknesses and its strong points and you can easily win against someone who counters you with a little bit of skill. It seems like people are put off by the first game because of someone who can 1 hit you, I can assure you there is not a single person in league that can just outright beat anyone from level one. My advice is to play through the first couple bad games you have until you start understanding how its played and then give your judgement on it unlike the rest of the people who give this game zeros. Also everyone seems to be comparing this to DOTA2 and HoN but these games focus on different aspects of the genre.

Giant playerbase Giant TOXIC playerbase.
- generic art style.
- Bad graphics (it even uses cel-shading)
- It has simplified mechanics, making it very easy to win (or to lose)
- Most of the 'champions' are direct copies of DotA characters.
- You have to earn in-game money to buy characters, you can earn enough of that money playing (and winning) A LOT of matches. Or you can simply buy them with real money.
- You can also buy runes, which are used to build your character. This makes the player win a match with no skill at all.

This game kept me wondering for a while if I liked it or not. My first impression was good, in my opinion it has a big potential, the F2P model applied here is simply one of the best I've seen in a game. The game itself is fun, even in it's repetitiveness. There's so much content in here to keep you around for days.
I played it for quite a long time but finally I ended up hating it. Now it makes me sad to say that I really hate this game. I do not think it is the game itself that is not good, I do not believe it. It's the community and the way it is managed that is horrendous. Players are just bad people. When I quit playing I decided this game just takes out the worst of everyone who plays it. And that is sad, 'cause the game was sometimes funny.
The game itself, nontheless, has some really big defects that I just cannot explain to me:
- why keep playing in just two or three maps? Why can't we have some more choice about the battlefield? We have so many heroes to choose between, why do we have just a single map to play a certain game mode? Do not tell me this is the MOBA style, because it seems to me it's just an excuse to develop less game content...
- why developing the ingame chat? What's the use of it, apart from insulting team mates and distracting from game action?
- what's the meaning of the really overabused surrender option? Why is there?
I just cannot understand these aspects of the game and I think they just make the game bad.
My final response: if you're a kid that cannot stand a defeat in a win/lose game and you enjoy insulting everyone who plays with you, this game is just for you. Enjoy.

Not sure I understand the appeal of this game, aside from being free (well, mostly).
At first, it seemed really fun. Hundreds of champions to experiment with? Awesome! Strategic multiplayer battles? Fun!
Then I realized after playing for a while that all of the champions were pretty much the same damn thing with different colored lights coming out of their hands/swords/guns/etc. The only real difference is that some are stronger/weaker than others, so they're imbalanced, which shouldn't be the case in a game such as this.
Also, the same two maps over and over again? Grinding the same map(s), with similar characters, over and over again, for weeks, in order to level up, in order to do the same thing again, endlessly, all with a bunch of whiny, immature brats? HOW can anyone play this game for more than a few weeks? *Boggle*

That being said, the gameplay is straightforward right click to move your single character. last hit the minions ,destroy structures then the enemy nexus.

There is a reason this is the most played game on the planet.
League of Legends provides a gameplay experience unlike any other game available. If you are looking for something new and don't want to spend money, this game is perfect. League delivers where DOTA 2 fails, where DOTA is unbalanced and (in my opinion) ugly, League is balanced, with its own unique art style. All you need to join the fun is a decent computer and a semi-stable internet connection.
In its defense, there is no pay to win features in League of Legends. All items that affect gameplay can be bought through IP, the experience currency. Runes that strengthen champions can only be bought with IP, while RP is only used for skins and champions.
This game is definitely worth trying.

Started as a copy of DOTA? Yes, but the conception of this game is different. Firstly, it has a constant of makeovers, new champions, modes which completely remove the thought of a simple copy. Addictive, extremely fun to play, offers a good competition mechanic. Excellent game. Whatsoever, as much as RIOT gaming works hard so do they disappoint us with lags and errors which completely ruin the competition gaming. Moreover, the community of this game is the worst community ever existed on planet. So much verbal abuse, childish behavior and much more negative attributes seriously damages the gameplay. But, to play with your friends, best game ever.

I've read old reviews saying how crap this game is (graphics, repetitiveness, bad community, etc), so here's an honest review with an honest rating from an average player.
I have been playing League since early Jan 2011. I hadn't played any Moba games previously which made it hard to pick up. Each week were new champions I hadn't played, and it took awhile til I found a champion that I enjoyed. Champion Guides were what helped me each game and I basically played by them. I only really got into the game after hitting level 30, being able to have a full mastery and rune page.
The community has become more positive (in-game at-least) and players communicate more in order to help their team. The normal matchmaking system is better (e.g 4 man premade of silver/gold vs 2 man premade of silver/gold with a plat player) and a-lot more depends on your teams attitude than the champion picks. There are over 100 champions to play, all with unique and awesome skills. There are also 4 maps now, all with various game-types to make the daily experience more enjoyable. All the visuals are updated, and all the original/old champions are being redone to accompany the changes. There are loads of servers now too so the only restrictions are your internet or PC.
If you've never played and want to give this game a go, be warned it will not be easy. Play with a friend, and aim to have fun each game. Learn from your mistakes, listen to your teammates and communicate with them. Watch tournaments, streamers and videos to give you ideas, and improve your skills. You will get better the more games you play.
Good luck, and thanks for reading.

This game isn't the best, it isn't the worst. Their engine isn't the best, nor is their graphics quality, or their business model. The engine and graphics can go hand in hand if you wish, the engine is really weak with rendering graphics. With a core i7, GeoForce 650M, and 16gb of ram, it takes about a few minutes or so to load. I question this, as I play intensive graphics games, with very low loading time in comparison to this game. Their business model is probably one of the worst when it comes to F2P. It's simply a Pay to Win game. I can't put it any other way possible. Sure they have 10 free champions a week, but that's near nothing to what they have. All of the pros seemingly have spent a lot of money into this game, but they got there, not only because of their skill, but because of the money they spent. When it first came out, I'm sure it was great. I honestly wasn't there at the time. However, to these standards of today, it simply doesn't reach standards. Sure there are those people who absolutely love this game, but this game isn't simply for me. This game is too casual, unless of course you go to ranked (that's where they teach you how to be ****), for my liking. Everyone has their likes and dislikes, this is simply one of my dislikes. If you want a high quality game, I suggest looking at DotA 2, however it does have it's downsides in Low Priority.

This game is in my opinion a bit overrated. It doesn't give anything, that is new to gaming. LoL is free to play, so that's a good point. I had problems with registration though. I had to try like 5 times. LoL is competitive. Too competitive. "That" kind of competition make games less entertaining and that's not good at all because games are supposed to be funny and entertain people. Quite often I hear people blaming other players for allowing them to kill teammates and it's not always true. You can also get banned "for being noob". It's pretty hard to tell whether player is actually a beginner or noob. Graphics and sound effects are pretty good though.
I'm not into this game too much, but my brother is. When I asked him to stop rapidly clicking, he said he he has to do that. I mean, what's the point of game, if you can break your mouse in month because it's "that" kind of game? Also, the game makes many people really angry and they keep saying, that they don't believe in human race anymore (that's what I've seen in many LoL videos). In other words this game makes people more aggressive.
In my opinion LoL shouldn't be your "primary" game. Rather a game that you play from time to time. If it wasn't free to play, I would not buy it.

League of Legends is a game I have played since around the time it was released. Despite what some people think it is quite balanced once you learn to play it. it is a game that requires one to play it rather much to have a weighted opinion about it.
one could easily compare it to any team sport. if one just tried out soccer for example, against players that have more experienced ofcourse the game is "imbalanced"
all in all LoL is a great competetive game i would recommend to anyone who enjoys PvP action.

League of Legends is a MOBA and a good one unlike Dota 2. LOL is F2P and the characters are priced generously. (Yes you do have to buy Riot Points and coins etc..) However as you play matches you gain coins and can buy the characters with coins instead of RP. The graphics are cartoony because they have a lot on black lines around the models. This is a really nice touch. They controls are nice and I highly recommend sighing up.

-Nice Graphics
-Can Buy With Coins

this game is OKAY, in fact it's very average. LoL offers a nice playing experience and a whole variety of champions to play in-game as different roles, but the issue starts here, only half of the champions are the stronger more polished champions whilst the others just rot and are hardly played by players, some of the champions are in serious need of a re-work and makeover. Another issue is the lack or servers, with each region comes are bad, laggy server that we have to live with, waiting queues can go up to 30:00 mins just to log on and a full server results in huge lag issues and disconnections, and guess what, another half a hour to wait to get back on and to try to re-join your team before the report you for leaving. Speaking of people, the community comes to mind, THE WORST EVER community is existence is to be found here gents, it's very bad, so bad it drags the game down with it, toxic players who call you "noob" and words that would even upset london chaffs. the game also isn't very stable, to get onto to it you have to get past a launcher, a log-in window, the game lobby area thing, then the loading screen and then your in the game, and most of the times players have reported crashes and failures happening at the loading screen and the bugs lead to disconnection and so on...
once your get past the bugs, picked support role (cause there was a fight for mid which resulted in you getting support), muted the kids and gotten into the game, it's alright. An nice experience sometimes happen in this game, with games sometimes lasting up to 60 mins and end up pretty intense, it's really fun, some learners may find it hard at first, but it's still quite fun to play, with 3 stages to a games, there?s always this sense of strategy and ever changing gameplay, however this game relies on teamwork a ton, and because of the community...yeah, doesn't work out.

I don't understand how an ever developing free game can get so many low reviews. The graphics aren't the greatest but with particles being recently updated on a lot of champions some slower computers might not be able to render high def particles at every ability cast. The developers (RIOT) are constantly working on not only patches and balance fixes but fun optional bonus content as well, and their servers, albeit not the most reliable, do hold up most of the time. Some people say that this is a pay to win game despite the fact that 10 champs are free every week and every week the 10 free champ change. IMO that's great because you not only gain skill in every kind of champion due to the lack of your starting champion pool but you also find out which champions you like and which to strive to unlock permanently as your favorites. The community can be toxic at times but as with every MMO there's always going to be picking on people who are less skilled or simply less experienced than others. Overall it's a solid game and with well over 100 champions to choose from RIOT has come a long way from it's roots. Would defiantly recommend trying and if you don't like it then no harm done because the game itself costs nothing.

Let me start off by saying I played this game for a long time and was in gold S2. The game was enjoyable because of who and how you played it with friends. I took a step back and looked at the actual game as if I was reviewing it without influence. It comes down to the game has really bad graphics and looks, your team forces you (or you can force your team) to go into one lane out of three and sit there for a while doing insignificant nothings and later on if you team feels like it you will group up and go around the map finding the enemy team. The game is geared at a very young audience (pre-teens) and is basic enough to get you little brother into video gaming. You have to buy all the characters you want to play and for most people it can be very expensive to fully enjoy what the game has to offer. The designers fail to realize that the people who express their beliefs on the forums are few and far between, the people who don't go to the forums and just keep playing the game actually have no influence on the game's development because if you like something its too bad because the developers will never know. The game its self and the community is stressful depending on your level of play may not even speak your language. If your pure goal is to find a game that is enjoyable to play day after day, this is not the game for you.

Buy to play game, don't be fooled by giant false advertising logo of free to play. This game is like a trial game. The game offers you samples every week, you cannot play other heroes unless you buy them or spend hundreds of hours (days) grinding to earn points to get a hero, OH WAIT, you need to spend those points to buy runes to upgrade your heroes abilities or you will not be able to contest other people who can BUY heroes. Also, the community is full of flaming **** kids, there's no escape, there are too many of them.

A game revolutionizing of it's genre, with countless play experience and great gameplay. It's graphics may be however, rather outdated in the perspective of a veteran gamer.
As many other critics believe that balance can be perfect in such a game, they obviously live in their own, self-hollowed illusions. The game is balanced for those who know how to play it, inexperienced players will obviously find heroes that have beaten them/they don't know to be unbalancing. I can assure that, out of the top MOBA strategy games that I have played, League of Legends is currently the most balanced, as they care more about balance, rather than the minority, pitiful, inexperienced players' demands.

That was complete garbage. I downloaded after playing dota 2 for awhile and wanted to try out another one of these games, turns out you can only pick from 10 characters while others can pick from every character, that is funny.

Horrible balance, slow developers, unfocused updates. Riot dedicates too much time into creating champions and skins to sell instead of balancing the heroes they have.
When champions have to be individually purchased how can the game be balanced? The playing field isn't level unless you want to drop a few hundred dollars or you play for 2-3 years straight to earn all of them.
Whenever Riot releases a new champion it now costs even more regular IP to purchase, promoting the use of dollar purchase. How can a game be balanced when the business model is to make appealing champions for purchase? Of course these new heroes will be unbalanced!
This is a small fraction of the problem, others include: community, matchmaking, terrible client, server latency, trolls, abusable report system, surrender option that ruins attitude of players, EXPENSIVE champions, balance issues, outdated graphics, boring champions (abilities are VERY repetitive and generic), AND WORST OF ALL they have ruined the genre with masteries/runes/and "summoner spells" that give players a free escape 1 ability on a long cooldown.

Fun game. They need to rework some champions because they get outdated when new ones are released but many fun unique gamemodes. No OP cash shop items. Seriously none at all! that give a huge advantage like other games MWO/WOT. Games are fast paced so if you come from slow MMO's it might be hard to pickup and play like any skill based game. Most people saying classses are unbalanced end up feeding the champion until they are nearly fully build are scream OP... Thats the way the game is supposed to play. Some champions however are better facing other champions just like pokemon its just not obvious like fire/water/earth/grass.

LOL can be entertaining. Biggest complaint from me is the inability to play any hero from the start. You need to pay for heroes or play a lot of games for points to unlock them. This will require a lot of time. There are also full skins that are obtained by paying. Learning curve is smaller than Dota 2, but feel that Dota 2 is more entertaining to play and to watch.

League of Legends is unbalanced, pay-to-win game. Why unbalanced? It's easy. If u play longer you have predominance due to runes and heroes... How Riot enabled it for players? You have to play an infinite number of games to gain all champions and runes. The new league system was create for cash because users tired of the digits and it didn't bring profit. Chess (ELO) system was the best, but due to money Riot check system. This game is not for ranked games, but for fun game, because it's quite unfair if u start play against player who's get all runes for example. What more... this game doesn't require any skills and experience. Only runes get you win and common sense. Only need to use skill/spell on the weakest unit and it's **** bad this game 0/10

This game is great. I love the teamwork part in it when you play with Real life friends and that you actually have to get to know every champion in order to be successful. And also the fact that you can kind of personalize your champions with a skin that makes you happy about it. THE BIG PROBLEM: The community. The community is so rotten and full of cwap that i seriously think about finding something else to put my money in. It's full of children who are not socially mature so they will tell you off no matter if you are right or they are wrong. SUPER ROTTEN, Riot, DO SOMETHING. I'm writing in capital because, it is their main problem and they really need to do something about it. If you try it, get ready for a time consuming game, you need to reach lvl 30 which is quiete a bit of work and you need to read guides and stuff about masteries and runes which amplifies your role in the game. This is a game where you need to be skilled to have some fun. Otherwise the community will eat you and spit you out without a single emotion. 4 out of 10, because the game is destroyed and nearly unplayable with that community. You log on happy, and log off somewhat mentally down.

Let's be honest, this game has the worst multiplayer community of this current generation. It is terrible that you have to pay for the heros that are actually worth playing, how hardcore everyone is, and how difficult it is to understand what's going on.

At the moment, League of Legends is probably the best MOBA available. There are a variety of balanced champions which suits to everyone's taste and play style. Gameplay is excellent. The champions are so diverse it's great to learn one and get good at it. The leveling and item system isn't too bad, but it could have been a bit more interesting. There ARE balancing issues that the developers love to ignore with a lot of overpowered items or champions, but what can you do? The issue exists in every game. I enjoy the free to play model of the game, as you cannot pay to win. The purchasable currency is only used for unlocking champions early or cosmetics. Speaking of cosmetics, I really enjoy the artwork and graphics of the game. The splashes and fan art that come from this game are excellent. I also am one who enjoys the story of the League and lore of the various champions. It appeals to my love for fantasy games. The worst part about the game is that the community is probably the worst out of any game. It seems every other game you always get that **** or that guy who thinks he's the It's best to typically avoid the chat and mute players as fast as you can. Despite that, there isn't really a whole lot bad about the game, and for a free to play it's definitely great. Just play for fun, and avoid the community.

League of Legends' is one of those games which built its reputation around naked female characters.
You will play a few games with your friends, 2 or 3 games by yourself and then leave the game because of the absolute awfulness of the community and how much it hurts you to see such a simplified, bland and depth-lacking MOBA.
The recipe is simple attracting naive people with an addictive character-unlocking system and bring them to play the exact same games over and over until they think they are having fun. This lobotomized community is the biggest pain in the ass I've seen in an online game, and I saw a lot of online game communities.
If you are a kid or a desperate virgin though, you may be able like all the half-naked characters this greedy development team release and the expensive skins they sell to make them even more naked.
League of Legends is the actual plague of online games, and more generally, of the whole gaming. A lot of online communities are now invaded by people who barely know how to play video games and who always choose the easy way to win the games they play. This "the easier the better" way of "gaming" is spreading and killing the real, good gaming.
if you have a gamer's soul and a minimum of critical spirit and taste, stay far from this game, you don't wanna mess with it.
3/10, and it's because i'm trying not to be mean.

In its early days, League of Legends was great. However, that time has come and gone. the game has extreme balancing issues, sub-par graphics, poor character designs, and the worst community I have seen in a game in a very long time.

Pay to Win plain and simple.
New champ every 2 weeks. 6300 ip if earned by playing. Means you have to playe 4-5 games a day to buy for free. Averge game lasts about 40 minutes. So were talking 21 hours per week for a new champion that people can pay $10 for. New champs are routinely imbalanced and gamebreaking. Older champions are routinely nerfed to encourage purchase of the newer champions. People refer to roles as "meta" defining how they want you to play in their group. No good deed for your team will go unpunished, as the community is incredibly toxic and trollish due to the $0.00 barrier of entry. Expect to have AFKers, feeders, and non-English speaking players on your team at all times.

I wrote a review at the bottom but then I decided this game only needs one sentence.
This is a lovely game and a lovely idea. The developer actually does care about this game and some of the negative comments here are just ludicrous. Games like LOL/HON/DOTA et al will never be perfect, but with LOL I feel like it is as close as it is going to get. Most of the bad reviews are from flamers and the 6,3 user score is a travesty as this game is FREEEEEE and could easily be sold.
And yes I still ended up writing more then one snetence.
((((LOL deserves a 10/10. Why you ask? Well the only game I have ever played more then LOL is WOW. I still play league and it is FREEEEEEEEEEEE. You can play this game for free and NEVER EVER have to spend any money and still get the same experience as everyone else.
Riot are a great company who try and balance an incredibly hard game to balance. They love their game and are constantly improving it.
The good:
Good graphics, great gameplay, free, easy to play with friends, introduction of different modes and ideas. LOL is just a must have
The bad: The community. Not all of it., not all of them and RIOT is doing its best to deal with it, but you can't beat nerd rage.
AND it is better then DOTA 2 in MY opinion. Try both though to make up your mind. There is no rule saying people can't enjoy/play both. But DOTA 2 isn't for me. And people who say DOTA 2 is much more complex and that makes it better blah blah....ignore them. I ffound DOTA 2 to be needlessly convoluted and in no way more complex. LOL feels more polished))))

I really enjoyed playing this game with my boyfriend ,whom I live with, until my recent leaver ban. I have only left two games- one because my internet cut out in my area and the other because the game crashed on the loading screen. For both of these, my boyfriend was also booted of of the game. He has also left a few games voluntarily. After the my first leave because of the internet I received a level one leaver penalty. I e-mailed Riot about it and was told nothing could be done about it. The next day I queued for a game with my boyfriend, the game crashed on the loading screen for both of us. We both then relogged, and finished the game. Afterwards I received a notice stating that my account was banned for a day, yet my boyfriend has received nothing.
No level one penalty or anything. I once again e-mailed Riot and was told nothing could be done about it and that an automated system was the one that sent out the bans and penalties.
The game is fun, but under no circumstance would I waste money on a game that would ban me for it crashing, or on a game that does not distribute these bans evenly if that is how they choose to operate their systems.
I am more than likely deleting this game and I cannot imagine myself ever playing another Riot game if they do not change their banning system.

I've been a Summoner on League of Legends since the game had been Released. I've played DOTA II as well as HoN and a few other MOBA games. I've noticed that gamers who play DOTA or HoN usually don't have good things to say about other MOBA games. They says it's too easy or not balanced properly. Honestly I think it's the other way around. League is balanced more than those two games and the only way it could be considered easier is that you can actually see what's going on. DOTA and HoN use graphics that make it more difficult to see the game-play and that makes it more difficult to play. Graphics are one thing, but they also have a terrible item/store layout that makes it hard to get a proper build going. League of Legends has nice graphics for a MOBA game and the Item/Store Layout makes it easy to find certain items or lists of Items by category.
The most important thing about a Team Based Game from my perspective would be the community of players. League had a lot of players who would just ruin your experience while playing the game when it first came out. Since then they have implemented the Tribunal and the Honor System. The Tribunal is basically a place where players review cases of reported players and help decide whether they should be punished/warned or not. The ultimate outcome of the cases are reviewed by the RIOT Team to ensure a fair trial. The Tribunal has helped clean up the community and eventually another system was needed to ensure the results lasted. Eventually they Implemented the Honor System. This system encouraged players to have better behavior such as Sportsmanship and Teamwork. You earn points after a game when someone acknowledges you for the category you've earned. So far there are only ribbons distributed for earning a certain amount of points and there are rumors of icons you can earn as well. The result of these two systems has made the game experience so much better than any other MOBA game I've played. DOTA II and HoN have such a negative community that even if you like the game you would stop playing just because of the community.
Bottom Line... League of Legends is the best MOBA game out there. Great game-play and Community experience. It's far more Enjoyable than all of the Other Team Based Strategy Games.

When I first started playing this game in beta Riot cared about the game cared about bettering it as a whole, but over the past 3 years it has become a barely enjoyable game.
Overall it is fun, but Riot has turned to the darkside. This is obvious by the many posts on the forums reporting bugs or massive problems that Riot fails to recognize. It is not us silly player simply reinstall your game which rarely if ever fixes anything. They released an ARAM map which most new computers have FPS fluxes and massive lag that is only fixed by toning down the graphics. In all honesty Riot simply does not know how to optimize a game.
There are countless bugs on champ release dates and old bugs resurface which in all honest makes me believe that the PBE server is just for making sure the new champ is powerful enough to drain the wallets of players.
Riot is a bunch of greedy Champions used to be 6300 which if you played solidly each month you could have the new champ by release if you wanted. Now they are 7800 and drop back down after a week. This was simply a ploy by Riot to get more money which I am sure they are doing.
Riot works in 3 steps.
1)Relase OP Champ
2) Profit
3)Nerf champ into ground
Morello is a joke. He is the head designer and main balance king and he is not even out of Silver. He is just an average joe. Why is he in charge of anything?
The fact they built this on Adobe Air is ****. The first lesson I learned in school and college when taking App design classes was Adobe Air is don't use it AT ALL.
To address the kids who say this game is Pay 2 Win. You are right. Kids who say it is not. Get Riots sack out of your mouth. I will break it down simply for you to show you how it is Pay 2 Win.
There are 2 friends Mike and Joe. Mike has disposable income/Parents Credit Car and Joe barely makes rent/is Kenny McCormick
They both are still able to play the same amount of games.
Mike is able to buy EXP boosts and IP boosts as well as new champs on release, while Joe can only use IP to get champs.
Very quickly Mikes champ pool is huge as he has been able to use all IP on runes for his Rune pages while Joe doesn'thave a single page full of runes and only a few champs that he loves that have been nerfed and are no longer viable that he spent IP on.
Mike is already at a huge advantage to every other person like Joe who plays the game. It is very close to how professional sports are. More the best things. Which is why pro sports are somewhat stale.
THis game used to be fun but in short the game is too big for Riots britches and it is going to hell very quickly. Client is garbage and Riot is just exploiting their Players.
What is this? Riot is bringing back the rare X-MAS and Halloween Skins? I WONDER WHY!? TO MAKE MORE MONEY
Riot go yourselves. People of the Meta stay away from this game. Play anything else. FPS, DOTA2, Women, anything is worth your time more so than LoL.
Also as already stated the community is full of testicleless teens who will report you if your so much as pinch them and hurt their fragile feelings

I started playing League of Legends about two years ago without knowing what to expect from it. A few friends of mine said it was good, so I downloaded it and played a few games. I noticed something right in my first few games: The graphics are pretty bad for a current generation game.
I don't really care about a game's graphics, but League of Legends does looks pretty awful except for a few character's models and the reworked Twisted Treeline map. But don't get scared away from the graphics; League of Legends has one of the most addicting gameplays I have ever experienced.
Getting started is always a bit slow in MOBAs and League of Legends is no exception, but it is easier to learn than, for example, DOTA 2. What really helps new players is the good UI which makes it easy to find every option or item in the shop. Additionally, you can change tons of options to make the game exactly fit your needs.
The gameplay is extremely fast-paced and you will need quick reaction times to survive for long, but that ability will come as your general skill advances. When playing PvP games data about your win rate and such will be used to find players who are as good as you, which makes the early summoner levels easy for newer players. When reaching level 30, you can also play ranked games which will put you in a certain division depending on how many of the first ranked games you win. This makes the selection of enemies and teammates even better and is a pretty nice feature itself, but sadly there are always people blocking your way to higher ranks.
That brings me to one of the worst parts of League of Legends: The community.
More than 60% of the people my friends and I met in this game are either flaming, feeding kills, going AFK or not communicating with the team. And afterwards, it's always the fault of the people who did something useful. And if you think they would just get banned: They mostly don't because the punishment system in League of Legends is too friendly to bad behaving players. After two years of playing this game my ignore list is filled with more than 1.000 players and I have reported at least the same amount.
Something else wrong with League of Legends is the game balance. Riot keeps releasing characters which isn't exactly a bad thing, but this makes balancing the game even more difficult and right now I am wondering if they still even try to. Champ after champ gets reworked, changed, buffed and nerfed but there are always champs that are just way too strong for the skill you need to play them.
Let's compare League of Legends to DOTA 2 here: In DOTA 2 the characters are all pretty damn strong, but they ALL are, so it's basically balanced. In League of Legends there are champs like Lulu, Varus, Xerath and Orianna which take some skill to play, but when mastered, are pretty strong. On the other hand there are champs like Jarvan IV, Kha'Zix, Vi, Gankplank and Lee Sin (mostly melee champs somehow) which have a huge damage output no matter how good you are with them or generally at the game. The base damage of all champs is around the same amount, but some champs just aren't difficult at all and therefore hit more abilities.
I can only recommend this game to everyone who likes MOBAs or similiar game types, but you need a lot of time and you have to get through a lot of **** to play this for long because of the missing game balance and the really bad community.

When I played DotA, DotA 2, and HoN I didn't think there was any way to improve on it. This is exactly what Riot did with League of Legends. Many complain that the game is more casual then the other varieties in the genre, yet the game takes just many of the same skills and new varieties of skills to master then the others. There is something very addicting about the runes and mastery system that I very, very much enjoy and there is no other game I'd like to play night after night then League of Legends, and perhaps MechWarrior Online as well.

Honestly, League of Legends is a pretty decent game, but there are quite a few problems with it.
1- Most abilities are overdone graphically and obscure your vision
2- At lv 30 people unlock abilities which make them simply stronger than equally skilled, lower level players
3- The community is somewhat toxic, and people ganging up and reporting a player will almost always get them banned, even if the player was actually friendly and did well.

As an avid player of RTS games, I enjoy League of Legends **** has fluid game play in the sense that it offers relatively faster rhythm of game flow. While the game isn't as refined as I feel that it could be,it does its job well in ensuring that there is a relatively casual game play section for those who are not serious in the game, and a section for those who want to play on a more serious and pseudo-competitive scale.
Overall, it is enjoyable but some segments of the game need to be worked on, such as optimization issues and game balance.

Oh those kids with 0 and 2 points. Are u from dota2?
Anyway its the greatest game in its genre with decent f2p policy and developing fast that makes it far away from all the competitors in its genre.

That was complete garbage. I downloaded after playing dota 2 for awhile and wanted to try out another one of these games, turns out you can only pick from 10 characters while others can pick from every character, that is funny. The picking stage is vital to moba games and not having every character is pointless.

League of Legends is the perfect embodiment of everything that is wrong with gaming. The original developers, in one of the most underhanded abuses in gaming history, stole large amounts of information and ideas from the original DotA community and developers. Forming “Riot Games", they continued to make their own "casual" version of DotA with the intention of gaining as many casual players as possible and then extorting them monetarily.
Riot is known for doing things like:
- Releasing very strong champions, which entices people to buy them, and then nerfing them a week later.
- Releasing skins for champions that overpowered, only to nerf them after the first week or two of the new skins coming out (kayle, udyr, etc)
- Releasing new champions instead of fixing ones they have already released. They have been doing better recently, but at one point they were releasing champions every other week and completely ignoring the community.
Speaking of community, League of Legends has quite possibly the worst community of any game ever. The amount of "circle jerk" that goes on within the community is completely embarrassing. Riot basically turns a blind eye to the large problem they face, and instead do things like tell people to not be mad at each other.
Most actual, legitimate requests to help make the game better are shunned by the community. If you go on the forums and post actual, constructive talking points you will be showered in downvotes. If you go on the forums and post a picture of a female champion in a playboy suit, you will gain thousands of upvotes.
League of Legends is also one of the worst designed game from a software perspective. I am a software developer by profession, and it constantly blows my mind how poorly designed this game is. There is countless design decisions which make no sense. Using Adobe Air was possibly the biggest blunder any "professional" gaming company has made in the last decade. The client constantly crashes, disconnects, and lags out.
The game also looks pretty terrible, but that is something I don't mind much since I am usually more about the actual gameplay and performance of the engine.
Riot as a developer are already pretty crappy just based on how they run their game, but they are even worse than they appear. Doing things like bribing professional gaming circuits to only play their game in the Dota-like category. Many of the higher-ups in the company are extremely stuck up thieves who made millions stealing other peoples ideas, and constantly post unprofessional and stupid things to the forums.
If you are thinking about playing League of Legends, do yourself a favor and play Dota 2 instead. Dota 2 does everything that LoL did wrong right.

The Game itself is great but the Community deserves a 0. The Players are obviously also part of the Game and its not fun in 90% of your Games if you get flamed, insulted, bullied and humiliated. Sadly its the nature of those so called "MOBAs" to have toxic communities, but Jesus ive never seen such a unfriendly and aggressive playerbase, But because of the solid Game, i still give a decent score.
To sum it up:
+ easy to pick up and fun Gameplay
+ many Champions and several Gamemodes
+ The amount of Champions and the possible Rune and Mastery combinations give you a thousand ways to play the Game
+ rarely gets boring
- Community, just a nightmare
- outdated client
- The developers favor the American playerbase while more or less neglecting others including the largest playerbase (Europe!) and thats a highly unprofessional
- Game runs while providing dated Graphics, its unoptimized and several of my buddies cant play properly while having good PCs
- Metagame is very boring and repetitive
- Balance isnt that great, in addition several balance changes are a joke (A lot of Nerfs are overkill)

I don't like this game very much! First of all, I was cheated by the trailer, I thought it would be fun but it wasn't! The players were very rude and I received about 10"fuc you" in one match! Also, I thought the heros ****! They looked cool when you search for them ,but in the match, they looked ****! And I think Riot Games created more and more heros is just for earning money! And the most ridiculous thing is this game is that you need to buy the heros! The most important thing in this game is the heros and you told me I need to buy it? It just likes you go to McDonald's for a cup of water and they told you you need to pay for it! It is fine if the items need to be bought but not the heros!
I never hate a game so much but League of Legends did it successfully! Good job,League of Legends, and riot games!

The graphics requirement is low in exchange for nice graphics,there are rarely any bugs and that there is a story for each **** is very addicting,especially once you play with friends, the only problem would be the community,it is mixed with both good players and also very negative ones,that would just love to ruin peoples day.

When Riot Games decided to make this game, they did it right. When I first started playing LoL I saw no ending to it. A huge champion pool offers you A LOT of diversity and with the "talent tree" aka "masteries" you can really customize your way of playing. Overall LoL is a great FTP experience i think anyone should give a try. The only minor detail I don't like about this game is the community in general. If you can't handle being cursed at, then you're better of trying another game. Luckily there is a mute button

Quite bad MOBA. After playing countless hours of both this and Dota, I can say that a lot of the things are copied from DotA. Maybe not fully, but still somehow. Someone would say that "they are inspired by the ones from DotA", but that just is not true in many cases. The community in League of Legends is really, really bad. I can't have a singe solo/duo game without a single feeder/troll/flamer (Note: if you have a premade of 5, you are probably going to have a good game). Kids are on every corner, and if they play bad, they call lag and useless team mates. Really... lag? I can run this game 120 fps while having maxed out graphics. The cartoon-ish graphic style is lightweight, and should run on pretty much anything. I have not played enough this game, you say? I started on season 1, and quitted around February on season 3. I was on 1700 elo, and still there were a lot of ****. Atleast is it not ruined with constant IAP. Skins are okay and quite a fun idea in my opinion. But still there are a few exceptions. I have to pay money for new icons? That's stupid.

This game is just too simple. Riot has refused to allow champions to have good ults. Champions like shen and Twisted fate got nerfed just because they had global ults. Maybe it was the communities fault or maybe Riot just didnt know how to deal with this but every character just doesnt feel strong. Having to buy every champion is just unfair and boring! They have not made a good business decision with by making you buy them when Dota 2 lets yo play all of them.

Having played both this and Dota 2 (I am yet to dabble into HoN), this game by far strikes me as the simpler and less enjoyable game. Heroes cost an arseload to buy, unless you plan on slamming all your time into this game, in which case you should have collected your final hero by about 2030 (assuming 24/7 playtime, factoring in hero additions). Most heroes are very similar, stun skillshot bla bla bla (most skills can be found with a word for word replica on Dota), and they mostly look like pansy fairies. Some of the big mechanics of Dota have been removed, ability to carve your own path through the jungle, courier, losing gold upon death and denying spring to mind (if anybody asks 'why does killing your own creeps give you an advantage', please tell me you aren't questioning realism in a game full of monsters hurling fireballs at each other). Also in LoL you can usually just spam spells due to high mana pools and low spell costs and recharge, whereas in Dota you need to think about when you want to use them. LoL's item shop does have a much greater variety of items though, which is nice.
Good fun to play with a group of friends, preferably 9 friends so you can 5v5 each other and never, ever have to come into contact with the vile 12 year old insult spewing community. Dota does have its fair share of that, but it's everygame in LoL and only on occasion in Dota. I occasionally retreat back to it when I've had some tough losses on Dota and fancy an easy couple of wins. Much easier to play than Dota which is good and bad, depending on how you look at it (in Dota, LoL player is an insult. In LoL, the opposite is not true).
My first LoL game I went 12-2 as Warwick playing in a game of level 20-30's playing with my level 30 friends. My friend came to Dota, went 1-5 as Sand King after 15 minutes and rage quit. An average Dota player will be better at LoL
I won't talk about the graphics, because graphics don't define a game (Baldur's Gate 2 anyone?).
The paying side of Dota is much more kind and its easier to stay F2P with it. 90% (if not 100%) of items in Dota can be found as drops (some admittedly incredibly rare) and all items are purely cosmetic, starting all players on level ground at the start ****. LoL has skins (effectively a less customisable version of Dota's items) which require real money to purchase, and levels and runes can put players at an advantage to others, if a player has a full rune set bought with real money, he will be statistically better than one who is yet to earn his set through playtime (runes can be bought with money or ingame points).
Also Dota makes all characters available, giving much more variety to the game than LoL's slow IP system.
If you're looking for a challenge, or don't have friends to play with, play Dota.
If you're just starting MOBA's, looking for a pushover, or have 9 friends to play with so you never have to venture into the community, play LoL.
But you really should try both.
tl;dr LoL more pay to win, easier, more repulsive community, get annoyed at others.
Dota more variety, hardcore, get annoyed with yourself.

This could be phenomenal if they only balanced it properly.
I'm not even going to bother explaining what League of Legends is; you already know. It's baby's first DotA. What the game does well is being just that. It is easy to start playing and it's not hard to actually get good at the game, provided you give it some time. Every two weeks Riot dishes out a new batch of free-to-play champions. These are the champions that you will be playing with until you can afford to buy your own. Now, the biggest advantage that League has over its competitors is that it's easy to get into it and that is why this system is absolutely idiotic. Some weeks the champions available will just not appeal to the newbie and then they will be forced to try out uninteresting champions until they can finally buy one of their own. The next problem that arises is that you have no idea if you're actually going to like that champion. If you're not buying the cheapest ones then you will have to play countless hours to afford something acceptable and if you then end up not liking that champion then that time will have been a complete waste.
But if you are rich then that's no problem! In League you can use real-life cash to buy in-game items; ranging from champions to XP-boosters. I really don't have a problem with this, however. You cannot directly use real money to get better at the game. You can't buy +50% damage or something like that so I agree with this business-model.
The gameplay is essentially fun but it has a tonne of problems. First of all, the game is horribly imbalanced. The difference between the best and the worst champions is vast and this leads to certain champions being played every single game. You don't really have a choice if you want to succeed at the game; the best champions are simply better. I realize that it's difficult to balance so many champions and I don't expect perfection but take a look at DotA 2 for instance. The game has some issues but you can always counter a hero that is generally better than yours. In League there is nothing you can do against a skilled Master Yi or whoever. This needs to be fixed, right now.
Also, you will master the game quickly. The skill-roof is very low and I had nothing left to learn once I hit level 15 or so. Mistakes are not punished properly as you can always use Flash and teleport to safety. There is no penalty for going back to the Well since you can just teleport there.
I could go on and on but I won't.
The game could potentially be fun but when you're having a good game your opponents will just press the surrender button instead of trying to turn the tides of battle.
If all of these issues are fixed then this is a very good game but otherwise it is average. Run of the mill. Adequate.

To say honestly, Lol is really easy game, with worst MOBA community. Graphic is old, and don't fit me. People are vulgar, and unfriendly. Pay to Win system ruins everything. 25% of champions are overpowered (and expensive), and 75% are weak. Altough, game is playable, and when you spend there a lot of money, it will give you fun.

The game is only really fun when you have 10 competent people playing against each other... ONE bad person turns the game into a show with at least half the players turning to trolling for 30 mins... no one is ever looking to help you... no one ever cares about bettering anyone else... the game ends and all that happens is blame and pointless trolling, it disgusts me... its a norm for people to demean each other in that game... I rather play on a server where an experienced player is given admin and can ban people for days for acting the way they do... like in the good old CS days... shame people only act civilized when they are under a threat...

I really can recommend this game. I honestly think that this one of the best F2P games out there at the moment. An important part is statement is, that is it NOT one of these pay to win F2P's. You can get everything needed with money that you can earn just through playing. All you gain from buying stuff in this game with real money, is a faster game progress, which bears no advantage here.
You also have a really big pool of champions you can choose.
The only downside of this game is the community, what is unfortunately the "trend" in online games.
Overall i can't understand the most of the negative ratings.

Not a bad game, though unlocking the characters can take some time if you aren't willing to shell out some cash. However if you're new to MOBAs, this may be a good game to pick up as it does a good job in teaching you the basics... as well as what to expect from the players. Always keep in mind is that no game is free of jerks and MOBAs require a bit of practice.
I will admit though... I prefer DotA 2 over LoL.

At first, I get a lot of fun from this game. But with the passage of time, I get bored from the game, all the things in the game just like wasting your time, you have to 30 lvl to join ranked. And the game art, skin of the champions is totally very bad, all of the skin is not suitable of the **** last the graphic of this game, this game graphic didn't update for years and there are more and more choices for me to choose from, and I am not going the choose this game.
Some other people said this game add a new hero every month, yeah, really, but didn't you find that each time they release a hero, that is very strong, powerful, expensive, like the Aatrox. And like after 1 week or 2 weeks, it get nerfed, it just like cheating you to buy the hero.
The graphic, the graphic engine is really really old, it is almost same with WC3.
The balance. In my view, I don't think League champions is imbalanced, because they are all same.
But in the other way the rune and they way of purchasing champions is imbalanced, you have to use a lot of time to bank the credit to buy the champion you want, if you want to save your time? Buy it using your real money, this way make the game become Pay to Win. Again example of Aatrox, if you want to become powerful? Buy it, and you will get fake, because it get nerfed after a week, and now you want to buy another champion. Also the skin of those champions, most of the time you can't get a skin without paying the real money.
As every know that this game borrowed some mechanics from DotA, and "improve" it to a more easy game, as soon you will find that most of the game mechanics and strategies are gone, it makes the game bored, every game is same. One of the reason is because Game not rewarding players for learning advanced mechanics, the players will just keep using the basic mechanics. So every game you will get some team mate which people call them "NOOB" No offence. This is why I gave up this game.
The players in league is also bad, like they complaint about the game balance, they said that skill is too fxxkin' OP, that is because they don't have to skills to counter it, most of them are not mature
At last I don't really recommend you to play this game, because its really bored, wasting time to compete with player only know the basic.

What started out pretty well has become a cluster f of a business model. Their model is to pump out a new toon every two week. It's how they make money, but it's also how they keep the game in a perpetual state of imbalance. They're now up to 115 (01AUG13) each with at least 5 traits/skills. That's over 600 skills to memorize to keep up with their flawed business model.
DOTA2 relies solely on skins to make money. LoL sells skins, but apparently that wasn't enough, so the flood their own market with mediocre toons.
Their maps are stagnant and new games modes are rare (where's dm ffs?)
Then there's the weak community. Half the players will spite their own team. If someone harrasses you and you speak your mind in return expect a "report". Since this happens every game and there's no oversight of what leads to "reports" expect regular bans unless you don't ever want to chat during the game (and even that won't help sometimes).
Check out DOTA2. It's a solid game with years of history and balance and a more mature community. It's got a higher learning curve, but it's well worth it.

imbalanced, horrendous graphics and you don't even have access to the whole game for weeks.
That last one is what I really can't live with.
You start the game with around 10 champions.
All the other ones have to be unlocked by either winning a TON of games (and I mean hundreds) to eventually gather up enough points to unlock them 1 by 1 which can take weeks or months depending on how much you play/win.
Alternatively you can use real money to unlock them as well which is borderline **** since the game severely cripples new players' champion selection.
Secondly, you need to unlock runes as well which make your character stronger and those need to be unlocked again by playing a lot of games.
So not only do you have VERY limited champion selection, you also have weaker champions than everyone else.
How exactly am I supposed to enjoy a game that deliberately makes me weaker and only allows me access to a few champions ?
Yes the game may be fun once you've spend months learning the game and unlocking all the champions and runes but I wouldn't know because I don't have months to spend before the 'Start Game' button appears...

Most of the reviews for LoL seem to cite "pay to win" aspects and talk about how bad they think the graphics are and how unbalanced the gameplay is. First of all, it is probably the least "pay to win" game I have played online. I have been playing for about a year and a half and I have about 75% of the champions, and I have never spent real money on a champion, nor have any of my friends. The only times I have spent Riot Points, or RP (bought with real money) were on champion skins, which have no effect on a player's skills or performance, they just look cool.
The graphics are relatively outdated, but it serves the purpose of ensuring full frame rate during team fights when every player is auto-attacking and casting at the same time. And to be perfectly honest, they're still pretty good. On the matter of unbalanced gameplay, it is expected from a game that has new champions every month and updates every two weeks. The reason it's updated so often is so that Riot (the developer) can address the issues that come up after releases.
Toxic player communities. Every game has them, and I mean EVERY online game I have played has a certain amount of toxic players. And in recent times, I have encountered far fewer while playing LoL. The truth about most of these reviewers is that they're the type of people who lose their first game and flame onto Metacritic because they think a champion is overpowered and everyone is a 12 year old. The truth is that a lot of these people who play supposedly overpowered champions are in fact high level players who make alt accounts to mess with "noobs".
For the TL;DR's
Pros:
-Easy to learn, difficult to master
-Relatively fast and well balanced matchmaking
-Constant updates and new champions
-Plenty of diverse champions to play
-No "pay to win" at all
-Constantly changing metagame
-Best free game I've ever played
Cons:
-Occasional toxic players
-Outdated but solid graphics
-Can get frustrating at times
And to people like zeruthal, why would you play for 3 years if you thought it was the worst game ever? LoL has a huge community that is constantly growing and it has it for a good reason. Alone or with a group of friends, League of Legends is a great game that has diverse item and champion choices, and is fun for people of any skill level.

RIOT look at Dota pls and their invoker....
- cant change nameicon, some-why i have to pay for that (lol wut?);
- when u play a lot u have 100+ heroes that are mixed in pre-match lobby, RIOT look at DOTA and let at least to the players group the champs as they want!

I played this game and I feel like this game is for kids, if you want to join competitive scene, you can master this game in short time. The story line of LoL quite weak, there is connected between champions but the reason of why 2 different camps want to fight each other, that is unknown reason, by the way, kids don't bother that. I have no comment on LoL graphics because I love to play 2D fighting game, bad graphics but I quite enjoyed it. For a newbie, they only able to play some of champions, wanna play more? BUY IT or earn the coins slowly by playing it non-stop. Wow there is rune system, want upgrade it to full? BUY IT. Conclusion: For casual play, this is a nice game to spend your time to play, but if you want to become pro? PLEASE BECOME A RICH GUY and YOU WILL BECOME MASTER OF League of Legends!

The game itself was very fun and addicting but the terrible rules and community ruin things. Quit two matches or get disconnected and you banned is something I'm not a fan of especially when you first start out and are just getting the hang of things.

If some decent community members got a hold of this game it might actually be a fun online game to play, no one wants to play online with a bunch of ****....

The one question most actual gamers ask themselves is: "How the hell did this get so popular?!", as soon as I played my first match I was asking myself the same question, that question had already been asked with games like CoD. Like CoD, the graphics in this game are outdated, the text that pops up every time you last-hit a minion looks like its a font from Microsoft Word. The childish fans of this game seem to think it has a GIANT learning curve, however, you can play one match and you've already learnt everything you need to know, simple as that. The pay to win system is terrible as well, many fans may argue that all champions are "balanced". This statement is absolutely false as Riot and one of the most money-grubbing companies I have encountered as a gamer. They have to use incentives to make you want to buy those champions, whether it be better skills or overall better feel or look. Seriously, this game is a joke, if anything. I reckon that DotA 2 NEEDS to take this games place.

I absolutely love this game, and have put in enormous sums of money to buy skins and champions. I have played well into many thousands of hours (and matches) and it never ceases to bore. My favorite champion is Teemo, who I have played over 630 games in Ranked Season 3. It took a long time to slog my way out of Silver 1, but now that I am in Platinum I am soooooo happy. The new League System works and it is wonderful. Many of the complaints of "poor community" and "imbalanced game-play" are a constant work in progress, admittedly, but for the most part after Silver community really improves dramatically. Maybe 1/20 games will there be an afker/flamer/leaver/troll etc (in Plat). The game is more balanced when facing other skilled opponents. In Platinum it is very clear that your teammates and opponents are on very similar skill-levels, and every single match is a battle of sheer force of will and logic. New champions are not generally imbalanced lately, and every single champion in the game has a counter or method of defeating them. Above-all, this game DOES reward advanced game-playing techniques and strategies in the higher Leagues. Most games do not stall past 40 minutes unless both teams are simply so good that it is rather difficult to break through the opposing force. But those are the best games, since when you finally achieve victory (or suffer defeat) you are still happy to have been a part of the glory.
For an absolutely free and fairly balanced game (you cannot get ANY advantage through payments) LoL merits a 10. I've experienced 1000s of hours of unadulterated joy from this game, and LoL is a part of my life as much as reading, eating, exercising etc. is. It is a fun hobby.

The game is entirely free, you can only pay for cosmetic items and to get the heroes faster but it does not give you an advantage on people who do not pay. Sadly, their game engine is full of bugs and their servers are unstable so I'm not giving a perfect note.

This game is the best game ever. 15 year old graphics with cartoon characters that all have same abilities and are released more often than CoD map packs. Also, the rune system is amazing, I mean who wouldn't want to customize their Champion in any way they want, while it falls in the only 1 set role it can possibly have. This game has an amazing community, people never yell at you while they allow you to pick any champion you want despite it being picked 3 times already on the team. Champion design is amazing as well, I like how well developed female chars are and how deep their personality is. All in all, best game ever without any doubt.

This is a better game than Dota2 if you want to compare it with that. Reasons, the shop interface is better, it allows you also to specialise you play style according to your role with masteries and runes. Furthermore it contains enough champions that can be free purchased. The game offers no benefits to people who pay, the only benefits it give to people who do purchases could be good looking skins and faster champ unlocks, however the champ rotation and the cheap starter champs that are as strong as the more expensive ones make this game fair and balanced. Reason why their e-sports are so much viewed. They also regular release new content and champions, also containts a good background storyline and the in game play also offers unique champions with there own skill shots. The customer support is also good, i can tell out of experience, because I once got hacked and the hacker changed the e-mail adress of the account. Thanks to their customer support I could recover it within 3days. The only minor issue is one that League of Legends can't help; the community, for example certain young players ragequit, flame, suicide, or quit because they have to eat/sleep and It feels like the tribunal doesn't punish these players long enough

People who aren't used to playing MOBA games will have some trouble with LoL. Those however who have played such games before will find a completely new and inviting world of tactical team-play and quick choice. It is one of those games that can break a players spirit if he gives up before learning all the ropes of the LoL playing style, but those that keep on learning and thriving will soon end up playing almost nothing else but League of Legends. At the moment it offers over 100 champions and 4 different play styles (3v3, 5v5, Dominion, ARAM) in 4 different maps and a 5v5 ranked queue, which gives you even more motivation to become a better and tactically more profound player. It got me hooked and I think Riot games did a good job with this one. Although the game is not the most original ever made, It has it's own unique lore and offers a more direct and dynamic playing experience than games such as DotA and HoN. A must for MOBA fans.

Low quality graphics and unbalanced heroes are the immediately apparent shortfalls of this game. Then comes the limited hero roster and grinding that is required to unlock the full game. Another unappealing aspect is that you can use real life money to grant your hero buffs which means a game can start off unfair.

I have played this game ever since it launched and there were only a dozen or so champions. Its been 3 years now and I am still playing this game? Why, do you ask because its super great fun and I can't stop playing it. I came over to play League of Legends from Dota Allstars from WC3 (8yrs) and this game was a refreshing experience. I've also had experience playing Smite/HoN/Dota2 and these games are not bad but I believe this game is the best for the following reasons. 1. Company listens to the players when it comes to balancing or wanting a feature implemented. 2. The game is completely free to play and you unlock champs with a point system, you earn through playing games, and there is a 10 free champ weekly rotating system so you eventually get to try everyone out before you need to unlock them. 3. The community is significantly better then the HoN community as far as I am concerned. 4. Game is updated frequently, always with new features such as skins, so the game never remains the same. This includes holiday/seasonal things. 5. The game is just pure fun, easy to pick up and hard to master.

I played this game and I feel like this game is for kids, if you want to join competitive scene, you can master this game in short time. The story line of LoL quite weak, there is connected between champions but the reason of why 2 different camps want to fight each other, that is unknown reason, by the way, kids don't bother that. I have no comment on LoL graphics because I love to play 2D fighting game, bad graphics but I quite enjoyed it. For a newbie, they only able to play some of champions, wanna play more? BUY IT or earn the coins slowly by playing it non-stop. Wow there is rune system, want upgrade it to full? BUY IT. Conclusion: For casual play, this is a nice game to spend your time to play, but if you want to become pro? PLEASE BECOME A RICH GUY and YOU WILL BECOME MASTER OF League of Legends!

Crappy DOTA copy. Oversimplified game play. Limited hero pool and selling heroes unlike in DOTA where they always been free. Balance is not existent due to releasing new heroes few weeks just to make tons of money. Its all about pay to win in this game. Buy some rune pages and own newbies up, they will never stand a chance. Graphics are so terrible they make my eyes hurt. Inferior to DOTA 2 in every possible way.

I was initially excited about the game, having been a veteran of Warcraft 3 maps such as Tides of Blood or Defense of the Ancients, the excitement didn't really last however as the game ultimately molded into something unpleasant. Core gameplay elements were cut out, either for lack of effort or to dumb down the game such as attributes, creep denying or multiple unit control, while only a couple were added in that I don't even like, such as bushes or spell vampirism. Many early champions are cut+paste chimeras of old DotA heroes, such as Ashe or Amumu while newer heroes follow a rather straightforward formula of gap closers, auto attack buffs and defensive skill.
The worst feature of the game is the carrot and stick MMO incentive system, where you must play to earn persistent stat bonuses, new champions and other such bonuses. The reward treadmill these offer help to mask the shortcomings of the game for more casual players who can feel a sense of progression not by becoming a better player, but by having stronger bonuses or champions.
Ultimately, core weaknesses in the gameplay and grind system can make the game feel dull after a while, when playing I only play with friends and they've turned to only playing ARAM in order to spice up the stale gameplay. I'd say the game might be worth playing just to try out various champions, but with the hero rotation and unavailability of heroes to the average player it might be too difficult to. League isn't as weak an entry into the genre as say Rise of Immortals, but is overshadowed by more complete or compelling MOBAs such as Smite or DotA.

League of Legends is a graphically dated game running on a client with a myriad of problems.
Negative notes
- No LAN function
- No VOIP support
- Buggy client
- Locked content (champions have to be paid for grinded for)
- Lack of an in-game spectator function
- Lack of proper game replays support
- Generally toxic player base (A LoL player has been jailed due to actions in-game)
- Server problems
Positive note:
- It proved that free to play can work
- The game can run on older machines
Although it claims to be "free", players are forced to either grind or pay up to unlock content needed to have a complete experience.
My final recommendation?
LoL is not worth the time and money when there are more well-polished alternatives that are truly free to play like Valve's Dota 2.

Pros:
-Fantastic gameplay
-Great team game
-Very competitive
-Always something new to learn
-Graphics have been updated a LOT
Cons:
-VERY competitive
-Takes a while to really get the hang of
-Can be difficult if you play alone
-Rune system is a bit broken
-Imbalances are introduced and removed with every patch
-Bronze tier players get mad a lot
Alright, the biggest complaint about this game is that the community is "abnormally toxic". My response: Welcome to the internet! Check out any major forum, this isn't exclusive to LoL. Having said this, I can promise you that there are less trolls in the higher tiers (Gold and beyond)
To everyone saying that Riot Games is a bad company... PLEASE actually check out the LoL forums some time. Content designers, art directors, player support, they're all on there working WITH the community to try to fix all the problems they can.

LoL is a god awful game, The graphics are just terrible, I played this game just before it released and I could not tolerate it for longer than 5 mins before I was forced to quit. On top of that the Play for Free, Pay to Pwn scheme that will end up from their micro transaction means the game will be a great success in the Asain market but will flop and be bad in the US. If you want a REAL game in this genre not some F2P piece of garbage Play S2 games HoN

Only reason this game gets a 6 is because it is free. Really if it was for sale it should get a 4. Reason being is that is incredibly unbalanced and contrary to popular belief is not skill based at all. Which is why the same champions are used over and over in ranked games, simply because 90% of champions aren't viable. That's a serious problem. If you have 5 friends willing to play this game together then maybe you have a chance to have fun, really relying on random people is a waste of time. This is coming from someone with over 865 hours of documented game play with this game. It will disappoint you. If you're looking for a good pvp game get Starcraft II at least it has a decent server.

League of Legends is an interesting game down on paper, with some neat concepts and re-hashed ideas.
The first great thing about the game, is it's basic outlook but complex and indepth potential you can literally just play a champion how you want, and it can potentially work, but if you want to be the best, you can follow some really indepth guides and learn some neat tricks and tips and I think it's good for a game to have this potential. On this point, I do feel that some champions are a bit too 'cookie-cutter' and that there is only one way to build them, for example you could never take attack damage on LeBlanc. In terms of gameplay, I feel that champion/character balance is somewhat off, and the way in which Riot brings out overpowered champions just so people will buy them, is highly off putting from the start. What's more, is that as new mechanics are added to the game, and new items, we see that older champions become severely broken with bizarre builds and potential ways of playing them, or they just become outright useless (Ie. Old Karma). The game is regularly updated, but there are still several key issues that need addressing, and it seems like they are negating the quality of life changes within the game, simply to push out more 'new' profitable content. Furthermore, I feel that the games community is the worst I have ever seen, and makes the CoD community look like a bunch of flower-sniffing hippies, simply for the fact you get some really nasty abuse even before the game starts, you get people who go AFK and you get people who feed and troll and it's really an unpleasant **** conclusion, League of Legends is a game that really requires a lot of practice and patience, and the ability to deal with people who could be toxic follow those rules, and you will have a decent time. PS: NERF IRELIA.

I'll put it short, this game is awful. I got bored within the first 5 minutes, then in another 5 minutes I get frustrated from the awful learning curve this game has. If you have played MOBA games before, then you may be at home. Otherwise, proceed with caution, and keep a grasp on your sanity. (I played with Bots, so I'd hate to play this with other people.)

Questo gioco merita 1 per il semplice fatto che due cose su tutti lo rendono uno dei peggiori giochi on line.
1 Insulti sempre, che giochi bene che giochi male ragazzini si erogano il diritto di insultare senza pietà tutto e tutti.
2 La parte definita "ranked" una cosa assolutamente senza senso. Non conta quante vittorie fai perchè tanto rimarrai sempre nella solita lega. Gente con 6 vittorie si ritrova in lega argento e gente con 200 in bronzo. Non ha senso.
Un gioco per definizione dovrebbe dare emozioni, divertire invece qui, si "gioca" solo per farsi insultare, farsi sputare in faccia da mocciosi e farsi prendere er i fondelli se provi un gioco diverso dal solito.
A pensarci bene 1 anche troppo come voto per un gioco assolutamente ripetitivo e assolutamente inassociale.

The game is one of many games that I was surprised with how much fun it is. The gameplay is complex and takes skill to understand the game. The major downfall is that learning curve is insane. It took me almost 3 weeks to completely understand the game (Towards the middle of season 2). Also some champs in the game are imbalance, which annoys me the most. Overall the game is not perfect, but once you understand on what you are you doing; a lot of fun.

First off I would like to say I am not a fan of Dota or Dota 2. So this review will be free of bias. Now let's get started. At first the game is a blast and holds so much fun. But it loses appeal far too quickly, there is so little to this game. You get a certain amount of champions every week and there almost always the same. Further more the only way to unlock those champions is by buying them with either Riot Points or Influence Points. Riot Points cost REAL money and are rather expensive. It take like 10 dollars for nearly everything. Than obtaining IP is time consuming and everything that you can buy with IP are champions and runes. Runes are cool of course, but you rarely every see their use in game. Masteries are also like this cool, but useless. But by far the worst thing about LoL is the community. There are kind people out there, but your chances of finding them are 1/1000. The LoL community is either rude or disgusting. I mean there are some of the worst and gross names out there. Of course you can report them, but NOTHING ever happens to them. Even though you don't have access to all champions you don't wanna unlock most of them. There is a huge lack of balancing in LoL and when new champions are released they are completely over powered. Now don't get me wrong LoL is a good game it's just not one that will keep you interested mainly because you will really only ever play 5v5 which always has the same plan. One solo character goes top, one guy who jungles, a support and a carry go bottom, and than an op champion goes middle. That's about it, there is no in-depth strategy or cool champions. Because when you find a champion that plays to your strengths he gets nerfed for no reason and becomes useless to you. But it gets worse, EVERY SINGLE NEW champions is an old champion with new skills that makes him/her slightly different. This MOBA does little to change anything for the MOBA genre. So even though I loved this game and spent forever on it I am in the end required to give it a 5/10. It's free so you can try it just don't **** in spend money. Because it really isn't worth it.

This game is forever evolving. And the developers have shown they can change and adapt well. As much as they player base changes and evolves the developers do as well. Some of the people who worked on the First DOTA game for WC3 are still working with Riot Games now, and have greatly improved their focus in design.
Art team is extremely passionate and does their best as well both making new standards and updating the older work from when the company was very tiny.
Voice acting is pretty spot on. They pull from the LA bunch so they have a good pool of VOs
Unlike most games there is actually a player behavior TEAM. Negative player experiences are met with punishment while allowing for players to reform their behavior at the same time.
The only dislike is perhaps the time it takes to get characters in game without spending obscene amounts of money or time. But if you like the game, that will come in time using in game currency.
The game has a fairly hard learning curve, but of all the MOBAs it is perhaps the smallest one out there, with tons of player made guides and tips, there is plenty to get anyone started.

Very fun game. It has a variety of strategy's that have IMMENSE ways to potential for better playing, and a better tutorial for new players that could instill better habits early on. I also wish there was a way to punish people who you play with and against for trolling, and raging. For example, maybe a player reveiw score for players. That way you can lower there score if they troll, using things like player in game quoting for advanced features. Just right now there isn't a good way to defend yourself against ragers. I cant just NOT play with them like in real life since its all based on random solo queuing. Though this does promote a environment where people who can tolerate the different ways of abuse and frustration can excel even without mechanical skill.
TLDR: 1 Make a way to defend yourself from random ragers. 2 Love the champion variety and complexity. 3 Wish there was more ability to make up for bad team comp, or that team comp wasn't as important.

Positives: Gameplay, In-Game navigation which is simple to use and easy to understand for newbies, the game is free to play and download, at no point do you HAVE to purchase anything, but the fact is because there's no pressure to purchase, and it's such a good game, 99% of players will inevitably purchase things (such as new champions, skins for your champions, runes, etc) because it's a great game, and definitely worth supporting with a few purchases. The game offers PvP and PvE both with 3v3 and 5v5, Once you reach LvL 30, you can begin participating in Ranked matches, and for most of us, we want to get our names up there on the Ladder Rankings for the whole world to see, don't we? They're constantly adding new champions, keeping the game fresh and fun to play. There're tons of in-game items to chop and change how you play your chosen champion, there're so many variations with each and every match played. RIOT constantly fix bugs with frequent patch updates (every 2 weeks at the most) to ensure we're all happy as gamers.
Negatives: The LoL gaming community is one of the worst I've ever experienced, trolls and idiots all over the place, which sadly, when playing alone, takes the fun away from the game a lot of the time, and rage will begin to set in. This game's community has the potential to manipulate a great and friendly player into a complete nightmare with rage. That is the one and only main issue with this game. However if you can get a group together and make sure you know all members of your team, and get together on Skype/Team Speak, then this issue will be avoided and there won't be much to complain about. The other negative is that the servers are often buggy and RIOT have to fix things on a weekly basis, although having said that, it doesn't happen as often as it used to. Another minor negative is that there isn't much map variation; two 5v5 maps (one ranked map, and one 'capture-the-flag' type game mode), one 3v3 map, and an 'all random, all mid' map which is also 5v5, but with no ranked option. If they could provide the game with another map for each game mode, the fun factor of this game would definitely further increase.
8/10 as it's a great game for a free-to-play, nice graphics, plenty of variation, no force to purchase anything at any time, and even a 9 or 10/10 if you get a group of friends together. Unfortunately, the poor community prevent this game from being a higher score.

The game itself is great, the wide variety of Champions one can play as is great. A lot of it comes down to skill and sportsmanship. If your team is good, and the enemy team is good, and everybody is being for the most part courteous to each other, it is simply one of the funnest exhilarating games one can play. The graphics aren't the top of the line, perfect for not exactly high end but close computers running everything at max. The gameplay can start out slow but will develope into a great strategic slaughter fest that can go any which way. The last hit almost always carries the most weight in their game modes, but as long as you're at the least getting champion assists and minion kills, you won't be horribly unequipped. The devs and staff seem to care about the fans, turning ideas into in game realities, from Characters, to skins, and even to the way the entire game works inside and out of the battlefield. Overall I enjoy the game as well as many other people do, I believe that there's a champion for everyone.

If you are a fan of this new so called MOBA game genre then perhaps you alright with this game but for everyone else keep away from those kind of games since are completely broken in matter of game balance and game mechanics also totally brainless in matter of progression the one that taking the last hit is rewarded with almost all the money of the kill even if you were there and did all the job).
And of course since this game has the "free to play" tag it has a community of kids and nerds that they are enjoying to be rude and leaving or going afk in almost every single game.
However this game is fun if you are playing with friends in any other situation this is a stupid game that has one map (actually it has 3 but there is no interest in the other 2) that people playing it repeatably all the time.

A good game severely crippled by it's community.
When I and other users say that League of Legends (LoL) has the one of the worst community to ever exist, we're not exaggerating. The sheer amount of raging, abuse and trolling from other players is staggering. The problem stems from LoL being a VERY competetive game, where you have to rely on 4 random players to fulfill certain roles and complete certain objectives, it's a recipe for a bad community.
Because of how team oriented LoL is, solo queue can be an exercise is frustration, simply because alot of games can boil down to which team has the most incompentant players, trolls, feeders, AFK'ers etc, thus skill not really playing a major part in the outcome of many games.
The gameplay can be fun and addicting, with plenty of champions to play that keep things fresh. Unfortunately with the vast amount of champions in the game, some are blatantly overpowered and some are just not viable at all in the current meta.
Overall, LoL has too many issues to be considered a great game, with the community being the largest issue.

The biggest downfall so far of this game is the community itself being fairly unwelcoming, and not understanding.
The game itself however is quite fun to play. The large range of different characters with different abilities keep things interesting, and learning the correct way to play different classes is intriguing.
Graphics are not particularly impressive, but vibrant enough to be nice. An offline version of this game with AI controlled party members and a potential 'story' to follow would be a lovely way to kill 20-30 minutes when bored.

A great combination of Strategy and RPG. It's trully the best MOBA game out there. With a huge variery of champions to choose and very simply gameplay, League of Legends can make you a huge addict if you keep playing!
It's free-to-play but this doesn't mean that you have to "pay-to-win". On the contrary, every champion is available with IP (in-game currency) which you collect just by playing, or RP (Riot Points) which is the real-money currency.
You can choose to play as Tank, Fighter, Assassin, or Mage (using the "Ability Power" which makes your abilities stronger). Each champion has 4 abilities, one of them being Ultimate which unlocks at Level 6. Level cap during the game is 18. Games are played 5vs5, 3vs3 or even 1vs1. The most addictive thing is that as long as you play you win xp (even when losing) and you can level up your profile. After each level up you win an extra mastery point and an extra rune slot. Masteries are permament skills for your profile when you start a game and they are unlocked though a Mastery tree. Runes on the other hand are boosters which you can buy. Higher and more efficient runes are unlocked at levels 10, 20 and 30.
Finally when you reach level 30 you can play in ranked matches. You start at the bronze division and try to climb up to the silver, gold and even platinum. Official championships give clans huge amounts of money and indie developer Riot Games has built a huge blockbuster there out of nowhere!
Graphics are simple and games run with 0 frame rate drops. User interface is very easily to learn and finally voice acting fits nicely to each champion.
To summarise, League of Legends is one of the best experiences I ever had with the only negatives being the community that might dissapoint some of you (high percentage of youths, strong language, AFKers etc.) and finally maps which are very few, like in the most MOBA games out there.

A co-worker of mine introduced this game to me. For the first few days, I was hooked. The design of the gameplay is dangerously addictive, with plenty of different ways to play it depending on what characters you unlock.
That said, the game does get repetitive after a while. The community is also annoyingly toxic, and every other game, I would encounter at least one player on the team who would throw insults at you whether you are at the top of your game or not (and for the most ridiculous reasons too, like getting a top score on the board, or not helping them when they die). It's a real shame this isn't managed a little better.

This game is an incredible f2p game that will have you yearning to spend money for some sweet skins

I wasn't sure what to expect when I was first introduced to League of Legends about a year and a half ago. At first, I thought the play style was bit weird and my brother let me play on his account for a while until I made my own account. This was my initiation into the MOBA world. After gaining a lot of experience with MOBAs through League of Legends, here is my assessment of the game:
Visuals Anyone who slams League of Legends because of the graphics should go look up the term "cel-shaded" because that is exactly how the game is supposed to look. The simpler style of cel-shading allows Riot more free range on the gameplay without being overly taxing on the average gamer's graphics card. Besides all of that, I personally think the graphics give a good presentation. What I wish Riot would do is update the look of a champion every time the splash art changes. I see a number of champions who look exactly like their old splash arts even though there are a number of distinct differences between the texture of the sprite and the design of the splash art representing the champion (e.g. Amumu and Ezreal). I'm keeping in mind the complexity and time required to do so, but it still wouldn't hurt to make a few updates to a champion's texture model as their artwork evolves.
Gameplay MOBAs can be difficult to pick up for gamers who are relatively new to action-RTS types of games like League of Legends. However, since Riot designed the game to be more casual than some of its competing games, it is more newbie-friendly than most. The tutorial also points freshmen players in the right direction in terms of basic strategy and the building of items in a particular set.
Sound The sounds of the game are very well-timed, except there are some instances where some sound clips play out despite the ability getting interrupted part-way.
Ranked Ever since Riot Games mostly abandoned the Elo system in favor of a new league system. Instead of having one giant ladder, players were divided up in groups and placed in different leagues (complete with five divisions each of varying levels) according to their evaluated skill level. Frankly, the advancement is a joke. Supposedly, the "league points" are divided and distributed based on the team's overall skill level and whether they win or lose. However, in the lower-level leagues it is far easier to lose points than to gain them. Players on the forums have repeatedly complained about progression slowing to a crawl while penalties are unfairly large for losses. I'd hate to say it, but I agree with them. It makes no sense to progress through the ranks if progression slows down while ascending the ladder, especially so if rewards pay out the bare minimum for wins (i.e. one or two league points) for higher-ranked players while penalties grow abnormally large (e.g. 20-25 points per loss). Despite the league system still being fairly new, it still suffers from the same problem the old Elo-based ladder had: lack of motivation. Players felt like they weren't progressing on the old ladder due to the large number of players on one ladder. Even though climbing the ladder is somewhat easier under the new system, several hours or days of progress can still be undone with simply one or two losses, thus defeating the motivation to progress. Although Riot's best intentions for the ranked system was meant to encourage solo players, the ladders as a whole still favor pre-made teams.
Balancing Balancing the game is tough work. Just ask the guys at Blizzard Entertainment. :D But seriously, the balancing seems a bit unfair for lower-level players, as it appears that the balancing among champions only come by way of internal testing and feedback from the best professional players around the world. Still, it's better than next to no balancing at all (like Heroes of Newerth). Some champions that many players believe have too much power are either left alone or have superficial nerfs while retaining their overall level of power.
Overall, League of Legends is one of the best experiences in online gaming that I've had (and sometimes the most rage-inducing frustration, but that's eSports for you). It's not perfect, but the game has its merits. Plus, League of Legends boasts the largest number of active players in the world. Not bad for a computer game that's only been out for less than five years.

League of Legends valiantly competes with the infamous DotA Warcraft III mod. I'll start by saying I have never played DotA, but I have played plenty of LoL. Suffice to say the game is a fun and addicting MOBA. However, it lacks in balance and fairness. Until level 30, you can only play blind pick matches, so it is a crap-shoot as to who will win the game because some characters just win against other characters. On the off chance that the characters chosen for a match balance each other out, you might have an exciting game (score is neck and neck, lots of close calls, and just an interesting display of players' skills and focus will determine the outcome of the game). However, that match-up is rare in a blind pick and usually your team will roll or be rolled on (win in a landslide, or lose by a landslide). I give this game and 8, here are my reasons, because it contains solid gameplay with draft pick mode (you see the opponents characters and can choose counter characters) and because the devs add a champion almost every two weeks to a game that can be played for free. Some games claim to be "free to play" but their item mall is atrocious and gives an unfair advantage. LoL is not one of those games, and being a millionaire will not give you advantage in this game (money will only buy pretty skins for your characters which are also released regularly). The only reasons to deduct points would be the community... don't get me started, but the players you meet will test your patience. However, that is easily avoided by meeting the good eggs and forming a team.

If i went to 7 is mostly because of the main LoL problem: ''the community'' The game is like they say ''addictive as hell'' and they are improving the champions and made pretty good looking skins so far. The mechanics of the game are pretty nice, and you can play for hours. What brings it down is basically the community, there's so much aggressive people who ruins your day. Also the matchmaking is pretty unbalanced: I found myself being the only one level 30 in my team against a 3 Ranked Silver players (who obv are level 30), totally frustrating. Even the new ranked system, while better than ELO based one, is a mess. You lose 2 matches and you go down 1 division, also when you win in the new one you only get 5 points, that you lose in a matter of matches. The game for these mentioned reasons gets pretty frustrating in so many ways, makes you lose your patience sometimes. It's a shame since the game is so fun and addictive. Not to mention the unbalanced champions, some of them have no counter, some of them get 3 kills and your match is pretty lost in a matter of minutes. Overall a pretty fun game which gets a ''meets expectations'' but is far from ''outstanding''.

I have played this game for a little over two years and I see no sign of stopping anytime soon. This game is so terribly hard to get into, but once you become familiar with the mechanics, you will love the MOBA franchise forever. +1 with friends. -1 for community. +1 for esports. -1 for teemo.

LOl is just awesome, the graphics may be basic but they are stylized (so its still enjoyable), if you think about it this allows more people to enjoy it that have lower end pc's from yester-year or those that are in internet cafe's. I feel that its the best Dota clone out there better than Dota2 tbh, as it just feels more fun to me. Riot do a good job of trying to keep it balanced and i don't feel that it suffers from being a pay to win game like some F2P games out there. If you like Dota style games and you've not tried LOL jump in and have a go, its easy to pick up and oh so much fun.

LoL was my first real experience of the MOBA genre and recommended to me by someone I know. I had heard this game was ''supposedly'' more newbie friendly than other MOBA games, such as Dota. I've never really played Dota so I can't compare it to that but for someone totally new to this genre, there are some definite problems I realized. There's a real problem when you're level 1-5 and your team is getting dominated by characters with 20+ kills, it doesn't happen all the time but when it does, it ruins the game every time unless you have a character on your team with the same amount of kills but this should not be happening at all at low levels. So the match making seems quite iffy and sometimes the people playing are terrible, I don't mean skill wise since I'd rather have that rather than rude and hateful people. They also threaten to report you for ridiculous reasons, such as being afk, disconnecting, etc. etc. I disconnected one time only to come back with someone saying they reported me, even though we had just started the match and I wasn't long but they reported me for something that was totally out of my control. Are you kidding...? They will also threaten to report you for just doing badly, so to play pvp in this game is a lot of stress and pressure, even more for a newbie. There are a lot of champions but some are more boring or underpowered to use than others and some are overplayed (Caitlyn comes to mind...). There are some definite balance issues though, and as others have surely said, some Champions that outclass others, if they weren't, they wouldn't be reworking some of them. There is lag at times and sometimes when there are a lot of players on at once, you may have to wait to be able to login anywhere from a few minutes to possibly an hour or longer. Another thing that I assume is in all the other MOBA games too is the ability to be able to ''unlock'' your camera which lets you look around more freely on the map and is not stuck to your character. When I first saw this in the tutorial, I thought this was simply a choice of how to play, little did I know how wrong that really was. It's pretty much essential to unlock your camera if you wanna do well at all since if you don't, everyone else surely is which gives them a clear advantage over players that don't since they can ambush and kill you. In every game play video I've ever seen of someone playing this game, they play the exact same way, unlocked camera, rapidly clicking around and if you don't play that way, then you're playing wrong and you'll never really be good at the game, so the ''choice'' of having your camera is extremely deceptive, I chose not to play with my cam unlocked because I wasn't comfortable with it at all but you will definitely be penalized for choosing comfort over what everyone else is doing. So from what I can tell, this isn't really the greatest game for newbies to the genre and maybe the genre as a whole only caters to ''hardcore'' players that have already experienced many other MOBA style games before. It's a shame because it can be kinda fun at times(when the teams are more balanced and you aren't getting steamrolled)and addicting but the nature of this game and games of this genre in general may push a lot of new players or many others away.

To start with. I've played this game for about two or three years now and I must admit that I kind of liked it In the beginning.
At this time (beginning of 2013) League of Legends is one of the most popular online games. It has millions of players all over the world, and it just seems to be more and more popular. However, in entirety, this game is not that awesome as everyone thinks, and I guess many of the players know this, but dont admit it.
It's actually quite funny because this game consists of 50% "one kind of person", because in each match I play, there's always someone who thinks he's best or is rude because someone else aint as good as he think he is and so on. Childstalk: each time he dies, its not his fault. Either it was a teammate who did wrong or it was because of lag. Silly.
The game itself is great, but you might get tierd because of the players playing it, being so rude. It's not like any other DOTA-based game. (atleast not what I've experienced)
However, enough of this, now to the actual game.
League of Legends is considered as a DoTA-clone, but it not as much of a clone, as most other DoTA cones. You get what I mean? Both HoN, DoTA 2 and RoI are more DoTA-clones while LoL being a bit less.
Why? Well the feeling is far from what DoTA was. Not in a bad way though. You have the same map, you do the same thing, but it's still not an exact DoTA-clone.
What are the differences? Well here they are!
Pros:
- It's easier because it's not as fast phased as it's concurents.
- Easier to learn and play.
- Bigger difference between spellcasters and non-spellcasters.
-
Cons:
- Too many people are being rude (not the game's fault I guess)
- Easier (Being easy can be a consequence for some.
- Bad balanced champions. Some champions can be way more overpowered than others.
Notes:
What LoL have that differs from what any other DoTA Clone have, but is positive or negative deppending on your own opinion.
LoL...
- ...have smaller map
- ...summonerspells, runes and masteries (like talents and gems in WoW)
- ...much more fancy graphics
I actually dont have the time to count everything up but if you are intressted in the game anyway, look it up and make sure you like it. Else you should not waste your time on it.
At the launch of the game, I found it very enjoyable (I would have given it a 7/10), but now it's far from the same thing. If you're intrested and want to get into a DoTA based game. I recommend you to check this game out, (it's free!), but I would recommend you to try out the others first.
4/10, because it's far from what I expected in the beginning.

Short and simple. Best free game that anyone could ask for. It's a MOBA style game with I believe over 100 different characters to play around with, and once again... it's free to download... and free to play I recommend at least trying it out if nothing else. And as far as any bad reviews go... Riot releases a new character approx. 1 time a month, and they are always working on the balance of the game, which is very awesome, and makes it even more worth it to play. The game isn't perfect... but hey... IT'S FREE!

Terrible community which you eventually become a part of.
Masks itself as free-to-play when the average player has spent more on it than a regular "full-cost" game
Servers are very unstable and often go down on a regular basis. Server side ping spikes are to be expected.
The launcher is coded in AIR which is inherently bugged and becomes very annoying to use.
Summary: Not an original game, bad community, bad servers, buggy client, "freemium" with a competitive advantage to payers, and finally no part of the game is truly refined, its just a low quality game with the excuse of being free.

League of Legends is a great game is the game I played the most in my entire life (about 5k games), But why is this game so good? This game basicly changes every 2 weeks, adds new champions, has 4 maps already (thats quite alot for a Moba) and has a great balanced champion pool, what i want to say is that there are only a few champs that are totally bad or too good. Try to balance 100+ champions, with different spells and mechanics yourself. The Matchmaking is also very good, although I don't know why most people complain here. It's a 5v5 game, where 9 other players play, there simply can't be a perfect system. One thing that I really hate about LoL and why I gave it a 9 is the toxic community.
And now another word to LoL-DotA. Before I played LoL I played DotA alot of times. People say DotA is difficult, DotA is balanced and blah blah DotA is so friggin unbalanced. Unlike LoL there aren't equal lanes. One counters another very hard all the time and you are forced to play passive. Another aspect is the snoballing. The one dieing loses Gold all the time making it very hard to come back into the game, so basicly it's nearly impossible to win, when you lost 2 lanes. In LoL you can comeback even if you lost all your lanes, just by having a good comp or another playstyle. Now to the difficulty. DotA is nowhere more difficult than LoL is. All you have to learn is the time for stupid built-in delay, when you move and the items for the shops. And what I really really hate about DotA is the random aspect. X% chance to stun someone on items and heroes, Dodge, XX-XX damage, random runes etc. etc.. I could say pros for DotA aswell, but I won't as this review is about LoL and my opinion.

Women or men, boys and girls. Wizard or Orks. There are 30 levels, which you can reach after some time of playing. The new 3rd season is pretty cool, new epic music in Dominion mission is marvelous.

League of Legends is a pretty good competitive MOBA with a Decent community and great variety. In LoL you are a summoner who controls a champion (characters). There are a variety of champions in-game to choose from and each champion fills a specific role (to help their team win). This game takes a lot of team work and skill to win your games and trust me you won't play "quick" League games because LoL sessions can range anywhere from 15-90 mins averaging at about 30 to 40 minutes a game. This is a very fun game to get into, because many people play it and it is very rewarding when you and your team mates destroy all of the Enemies' defenses.
The one thing about this game that bothered was the community. This game has the worst community ever. I am not joking. League has one of the WORST communities in a videogame. You will run into every single thing you hate about a Multiplayer community, ranging from the Troll to the Elitist of LoL players

I'm playing it for only a few weeks now, and only because one of my friends insisted i try it out, after bad experience with blizz-DOTA i thought it would be hard for me to like a game type like that, but to my greatest surprise after playing a few games i simply couldn't stop... It really does get more and more addictive and entertaining the more you play. I must say, even dota 2 started to seem a bit more interesting after playing LoL, still i sympathize with LoL much more, simply cause it has motivations, one of the things i enjoy the most is that you actually need to buy your character, not have all of them available from the very start...
The rune and mastery systems also works for me just great because there is actually a point of leveling your summoner. I do also like the graphics much more then in dota 2 since I'm kinda an anime fan and this style is simply much more enjoyable for me. LoL is also much more newbie-friendly then dota is, it's more simple to figure out, and not that one-sided, even if your getting owned at the start of the game you can actually have a pretty nice comeback and maybe even win after it was quite obviously a lost game, in dota that's almost impossible... if you're getting owned you're getting owned for good.
P.S I'm pretty sure most of negative responses come from haters, like hardcore dota gamers :P

Interesting mix between RPG and RTS, similar to DotA, except that it is FREE. Yes, you can pay to get items in the game, although most of them can be got by IP or points that you win in the game (except skins, as usual in free games). There are A LOT of champions to choose from, and they keep putting new ones. Updates are almost weekly, which means the developers are constantly patching the game, which means they do care about the quality. Some champions IMHO are unbalanced, usually most expensive ones (and then banned on tourneys, which doesn't make much sense except for getting money). Some champions are really challenging to play with, with very interesting powers. Other champs look like a remix of others, but this sometimes can be interesting. Time to get into a game for coop is around 5-7 seconds, a bit more for PvP (~20-30 secs). You will find a mixed player base, but too much kiddos for my taste.

I've truly given this game several chances due to its popularity. (Just go to a LAN to see what I'm talking about) However it is just far too boring for my tastes. I realize that the learning curve is VERY high and that some feel its extremely addicting but a RTS that involves controlling a single unit most of the time is just too boring. Some say that the multilayer brings more depth to the game but in my experience it just adds more randomness to the players experience. Will you be matched with a balanced team or get steamrolled? Will you sit at the load screen waiting for a match to begin only to realize you've wasted your time? Will half your team quit at the drop of a hat?
Then there's the visual style which to me is offensive to the eye. Over-saturated colors and a hideously "busy" graphical styles are not aesthetically pleasing to me. Add to this the terrible sound effects (particularly hearing the announcer woman rattle off info CONSTANTLY) and the experience becomes even less pleasant. Worst of all is the games pricing model. Free2play can be done correctly. Team Fortress 2 is a perfect example. Money spent is primarily on cosmetic items and any weapons found in the store can easily be earned for traded for in-game. LoL on the otherhand gives a distinct advantage to players who either spend money or those with lots of play-time. Level ups and the horribly clunky "ruin" system make skill far less important. Don't get me wrong. The tremendous learning curve of LoL means experienced players will win over newer ones time and time again. The devs like to think the matchmaking system works well, but its just not the case and teams are notoriously unbalanced.
So why give this game a 0? Despite the many hours (for my friends sake) that I've wasted on this game I have never enjoyed myself even for a brief moment. I understand that people love it. It wouldn't be the most poplar game in the world if they weren't having fun, but for me this is an experience I can do without.

Very good game, only thing holding it back is us. The people who play the game. Community is good and nice, but also it´s very toxic and immature. But after all. Most people have spent very long time over internet and realized that anonymity can equal bad behavior. I don´t hold riot games for that. Graphics are good, i´d even say for an moba game they are very good. Champion pool is very solid and creativity is the key. Some hardcore dota fan´s believe Dota 2 is only game worth playing because it was made by the author. League of Legends was made by person who made most popular variation of Dota. Dota all-stars. For a person who has played all "competive" Moba games out there, league of legends is only one that actually counts.
This game is very easy to start. Make an account, download client, download game with client, update and fire it up. Game itself is very easy to learn, but it´s impossible to master. You can make mistakes, you can lose, you can get better, you have a choice to play this game for free without being in handicap position. You can pay for gadgets, but it´s not must and paying for anything in this game does not make you better. I give this game 9. For overall layout, for Riot games who treats their customers (Both ones who pay and who doesn´t pay) like they would own the game. They do think the players, not just wallets. Most of all, i give this game 9 because it´s awesome game. I don´t take points because part of community ****. If i did, well all games that requires connection with other people would be deemed bad.

One of the best free to play games I have ever played, which is why I was rather confused to see the state of the user reviews on this site. So I shall attempt to address some of the issues people have raised
1. The claims that this is a pay to win game. This is simply just not the case, real money can be used to purchase additional champions, or boosts that speed up the gain of ip and summoner xp. Neither of which directly effect in game performance. Summoner level cap is not hard to reach, and must only be reached once, it more or less provides something of a learning curve for new players and somewhat helps to keep the skill level ranked play at least a little bit higher, it also gives access to a mastery point level which do effect gameplay, but in terms of percentages you are talking maybe a 5% increase in strength. IP gains are used to purchase runes which do provide in game advantage, whilst getting every single rune would take a considerable period of time it does not take very long to get a couple of sets which can be used on any champion quite well. Runes do offer quite a reasonable advantage I will admit but it is small enough that skill will trump runes every time and are accessible to even a casual no money spending player.
The only thing RP(Real life money requiring currency) is used for exclusively is for champion skins, which are a purely visual thing, and whilst some skins are kind of average looking, others rather expensive there is very good range of reasonably priced good looking skins and regular sales cutting 50% off the cost of them. 2. Let us move on to another common complain, graphics. I personally find it difficult to play ugly looking games, but this is not one. Yes they are not going to compare to Crysis 3, or any other modern first person game, but given the zoom level which the game is played at it looks very pretty, and still manages to run quite well on a range of systems. Graphics though are something of personal taste thing though so there is that.
3. Balance. Well, there is certainly balance issues, some champions are stronger then others, but I don't find this is particularly correlated to how recently the champion has come out, I think riot does a good job at maintaining balance given how great a variety of champions they provide. Even in the case of champions being powerful there is always ways to counter, through your own pick or items. If you for some reason cannot deal with a particularly champion, each team gets 3 bans which can be used deal with it.
4. The community. This is a tough one, the league community is pretty toxic for the most part, but then so is most of the online gaming community. The biggest issue is League is a team game, you are heavily reliant on the other players so having team mates is rather unpleasant. This is something that can be dealt with though, makes friends, meet someone who plays well and doesn't seem to be a ****? Add them as a friend, play with them. Once you have found at least 1 or 2 people to play with regularly you will find things a lot better.
**** skill required. This is another flat out lie, not much more I can say really, play the game for more then a few short minutes and that should become clear.
Now that I have addressed to the best of my ability the complaints of other I will move on to why I love the game.
It has the best microtransaction system I have ever encountered. No money is required to be spent to play the game quite happily nor is an arduous amount of grind required if one does not. Any purchases made feel voluntary not required as in some free to play games, they are not shoved in your face too much and just kind of lets you do your thing.
The metagame system provides increased depth but does not punish players to harshly for having poor understanding/use of it. Each week 10 champions are made free for the week which allows the trial of many champions before acquiring them permanently with in game earned currency or RP. The leveling system in place means that at higher levels you are guaranteeing that least some understanding of the game even at low skill ratings in ranked. Leaving games is harshly punished(as it should be) and so whilst it does still happen is not nearly as common as in some mobas.
The range of champions available is vast, some more interesting then others but the sheer range allows for finding of many champions to suit any play style. Most have a good range or item builds that can be used to great effectiveness other are more restricted but can be fun nonetheless. Thematically there are some unique, some borrowed elements from other games/mythology/books/movies but are never straight up copies.
In summary, a solid team based game with some good players other which are less so. It is free. a lot of the negative reviews seem to have come mainly from players who have not played for long enough for the match making system to correctly place them

This game is pretty good, but there are many negative sides in it for me. For example most characters aren't well balanced. For example ranged characters are almost as strong as melee ones in damage which is pretty annoying already in the beginning. The price of the characters not even resembles their effectiveness, and I bet that's what most would think at first. Gold farming can be quiet annoying because the last hitter gets the most gold and kill as well, and these just makes everyone steal the kills which just makes people hate each other in the game. Aside from these the game requires quiet a lot of teamwork and even if only one person is not cooperating the game is most likely lost. Now the good side of the game is there's a function to play with bots (And it's pretty well made up) which can be played with only bots (Beginner only) or with people (Beginner and intermediate). There are runes in the game which seems useless at first look, but they can be quiet a big difference maker in early game (But this most likely happens only after level 20, when you can buy the best runes). They boost your champion's stats and you can purchase more of these while you level up. There are also masteries which boosts your stats as well, but not as much as the runes. The other good thing I found in this game is that you can buy all the champions without giving a cent into the game. The only things that cost real-life money is skins, IP/EXP boosts and such. So I would rate this game 5/10.

This is a pretty good game, but it has one major flaw. For the most part it is a 5 on 5 match. However in about 50% of games one of the team mates will leave halfway through the game. This would be bad if the game ended then, but the game goes on and whoever is unlucky enough to lost a play will lose guaranteed. People put up with it because sometimes you win a 5 on 4 and sometimes you lose so it's frustrating, but completely random.

I have been playing League of Legends for about a year now, and I can easily say that I have poured over 200 hours of my sparing time into it. It is great fun, and one of the best FTP and games in general out there, it is not perfect. Some cons are that the community is very harsh, which puts off a lot of new players. While i don't like the community, as long as you keep a good attitude amidst their laughable rage, it is quite fun to watch how hard some people get mad at the game. (I guess thats kind of a pro). another con is that getting a good and trustworthy team in matchmaking is rare. someone might leave, feed, or just **** incredibly. But the games where you do end up with good teammates are a lot of fun. TL;DR, try it, get to level 20 or so, and play with your friends.

I have been playing this game for nearly a year now. I would say this game is brilliant and successful. They have over 120 champions from which to choose.

It's unbalanced, rankeds and draft always have same team comps, making it boring. Yet, I find playing blind pick with friends one of the most entertaining games I've ever played. Been playing for 3 years already and never get tired of this game. It's free, you only pay to buy champs faster or get skins.

I have been playing this game for about 6 months, and whilst there are minor balance issues but they are fixed within the next patch normally (so roughly every 2 weeks). There are new champions often and whilst the community may not be amazing, you always have the option to play with friends. Unlike similar games like dota and hon, there is a ranked system which you are free to join when you hit max level. Another good thing is that you can;'t buy content which advantages you, you can only buy cosmetic with real money.

The problem with League of Legends isn't a problem with the game itself per se (although there are quite a few flaws in the system that, although not gamebreakers, do ruin the experience), but rather, with the absolutely terrible community and the design of MOBA's themselves. Firstly, although there are many genuine gamers in the LoL community who are just out there to have fun, and at times truly do want to help new and struggling players, the vast majority of LoL players are complete and utter jackasses that are completely self-centered in an entirely team-based game. I keep finding myself playing horrible games where a single teammate will just ruin it for everyone by being a complete **** to everyone on the team. In fact, I find people who dont understand how to play a more enjoyable teammate than one that just completely ruins the experience with his mindless drivel. But, I think this problem stems from the MOBA genre itself.
Although LoL has many features to reduce the severity of this problem (no loss of gold on death, lower champion level cap, etc), MOBA's are very, very infuriating to play when you can't play them right. Games usually just boil down to "Who can make the most mistakes first" instead of actual knowledge and skill, and this only increases the amount of anger, which in turn increases the amount of mistakes and creates a vicious cycle only dedicated players can escape from. A lot of people talk about "ELO Hell" and how it doesn't or does exist, and I think that it does exist for some and not for others, mainly because of this. LoL is great for people new to the MOBA genre since it seems to be the most user-friendly of them all (DOTA 2 is VERY punishing towards noobies), but even a benevolent dictator is a dictator.
TL;DR: Good game if you are patient and willing to put up with ****

A very well-done and clean game.
The developers put alot of effort into the content, but listen little to the community.
Yet this is also a good thing, that they don't.
The community is a living hell and the first reason that makes this game a horrible game.
The second reason being their evaluation of the competitive player's performance.
It is being counted through an individual ELO-Rating that is only based off your Win-Lose factor, however not taken into account that you play a match alongside with other 4 players which oftentimes are just genuine useless anchors, which makes the ELO-Rating a joke.
DotA2 did it better, your performance is calculated by what you actually do inside a match, as opposed to Win-Lose ratio.
Other negative Technical aspects:
- Uses Adobe Air
- No Replay System for a long period of time. Coming Soon

Many of these reviews are dated, this game has changed and added content over the years and is far superior to the original release. I started playing at the end of 2009 and I've played off and on since then and it gets better with each season/update/release. I've played lots of multi-player online battle arena (MOBA) style games and this is my favorite - that includes dota/dota2, Hon, demigod, among others (although those are all good games, I just like LoL more).
There are over 100 champions to pick from (109 as of this writing).
There are many game modes, normal games, draft, ranked, 5v5, 3v3, and Domination. Current it is expected that an all random single lane map will become a standard mode which is currently available in custom games right now.
Tournaments are very exciting to watch and many pro teams around the world compete. It's very easy to watch a pro player stream to improve your game.
Honor, Tribunal, and a quality dedication from riot has GREATLY decreased the players who ruin games (trolls, racists, flamers, afker's) while these still exists (as they do in any multi player game) it is much better, and one of the better gaming experiences I've had in a long time.
And it's free. If you haven't played it before or if you have played it a long time ago check it out now!

The only reason i took away 2 ratings is because of the community. IF you want 12 Year old trolling little kids bothering you all day thats the only issue with this game.

Friends got me into League, but it's so bad I've been actively trying to convince them to stop playing. Every game turns into a shouting match of blame and frustration. The random people you play with in game are the dumbest and most egocentric people you will ever meet in your life. The LoL community is terrible, even by the standards of online games. The item and champion balance is so poorly done that it's a wonder anyone even considers this a competitive game. I know high-schoolers that can do better game design.
If you play LoL, you'll most likely end up quitting after your first few games because you'll be fed up by low cooldown teleports, invincibility, and stuns (which are basically in-game bans). Nothing about this game is good or enjoyable.

This is the new king of MOBAS and will remain so for many years to come. The game always gets updated regularly and the devs are the best out there. They always interact with the community and give the players what they want. There is also a bunch of tournament and an enormous e-sport scene for this game which makes it all that much exciting and fun to watch and play.

The game is ok, but the community is horrible. Even though i'm lvl 30 i always play with teammates who doen't know anything and play horribly. The game is slowpaced and champions are really easy to play. The players always have to report some1 even though they were then ones feeding/playing horrible. Ranked matches ain't so much better. All the matches i have played so far in ranked, there have been about 2-3 people who didn't really know how to play. I like the dota 2 community better, the game is "harder" and therefore the bad players don't play it.
Overall i liked the game. A good thing and also a bad thing is that they keep adding new champions. This makes the game harder to balance and most of the new champs are UP or OP. Ofc they fix them after some patches.

This game is rather fun in its own right, but the fact that it's free-to-play makes it excellent. While its graphics are not the best, they are plenty sufficient for an enjoyable experience and have been improved over time. The gameplay is simple enough to quickly learn the basics but also has a great deal of depth for advanced players to master. There is a truly staggering array of champions to choose from and several different roles, so there is plenty to learn and experiment with. This does mean that the game has somewhat of a steep learning curve--since you will have to learn to recognize 50+ champions and remember their abilities--but after a while this will come naturally. My one major complaint about this game is that there is no way to boot out AFK players, players who disconnect, or trolls, so if your team gets stuck with one or more you may be at a permanent disadvantage. Hopefully Riot will address this problem in the future.

I have been playing this game since right after beta, and I must say I really love it. I played DotA in Warcraft 3 and this is just amazing, it also has the biggest eSport. There are about 107 different champion and to master them it takes practice. As I said I've played since beta which is about 3 years ago and I can master about 10 champions which means i know everything about those champions. You can have so much fun in this game it's ridiculous. The game has implemented a leveling system (1-30) and each time you level up you get a mastery point which you can put in one of the three mastery trees (Offense, defense and utility). Utility is more of a support tree because there are a couple of different champion types:
Attack Damage Carry
Ability Power Carry
Jungler
Tank
Bruiser
Pusher
Support
And these types are going on different lanes, mostly Supports and AD carries are goin the bot lane, and AP carries mid, bruisers and tank top/jungle. AP carries may go top but at different occasions. It all depends on enemy team. The game is based of takeing the enemy Nexus (main base) anmd there are 3 lanes and a jungle. there are 2 lane turrets in each lane before inhibitor turret, and the inhibitor will be taken down after the turret and then you get ultra super-minions. After you have taken down one of the inhibotrs you can then attack the two nexus turrets, after both are destroyed you can attack the Nexus.
Amazing game.

Best Moba game ever made.
Cons: bad client (crushes often on some PCs), not a friendly community if you are bad they will let you know that but you can mute in-game chat so it's ok.
Pros: lots of new champs every month, lots of streamers you can watch and learn, free 2 play, most played game in the world, they make a lot of interesting changes every season.

This is one of the deepest games I've played. 5vs5 and m****ive amounts of teamwork is needed. One player out of position can cost you huge. There are a lot of aspects of the game yet you only control your one character so its not too overwhelming.
With the games depth the negative aspect of it is the learning curve. You can get a grasp early, but it takes months to master. Knowing each champion's abilities gives you a huge edge in fights and their are a lot of champions. Also there is a lot of items which again takes a long time to learn what they do and which ones to buy.
Even outside the game you can tweak your stats to optimize your attacks, defense, magic which can be quite fun. Make different builds for different champions.
With this games depth it does bring some very p****ionate players. Some of those players can be straight up **** holes however the game does try to weed those players out. You can report them, you can judge/punish them and they often get banned. They also try to reward players who are nice to others which has removed a lot of the negative behavior.
The game at its core is a DOTA style, "moab" 3 lanes with computer unit waves constantly coming out while the players tip the scales. Turrets to defend, objectives in the middle which give you bonuses. Killing creeps gives you gold to buy powerful items, and they also give experience which makes your champion stronger. It makes for very fun deep play that rewards teamwork and opens up some big plays and team synergy.

I have a lot of questions around this game. Why people loves as much as they love this game? What´s new in this game? Why people who lost a match gets so angry in this game?
Well, I don´t have any answer. Is a very simple game, with a few maps, with few rules. The graphics are very bad, and the goals you have to reach are all the time the same. It´s a good game to work in groups and to use your brain too, but is not interesting. The matches sometimes get too long, sometimes more than 1 hour... Nah, i can´t stand this game and I can´t stand his players that say it´s awesome. I don´t know why.

League of legends is probably one of the most played games of this generation. Has it earned its reputation or is it just a waste of time? League of Legends (LoL) is an Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) game with 3 game modes. The first and main mode is Summoners Rift, where you fight in an 5 vs 5 battle. Your team has to pick from a roster of over 100 characters. These would include roles such as damage dealers, tanks, supports and many more. With your chosen team, you have to defeat the enemy and take down their base. The second mode is Twisted Treeline, which is like Summoners Rift but 3 vs 3 players. Dominion, which is the last mode is more a "capture the flag" game where you have to take controll over 5 towers before the enemy. While everything is fun, it is Summoners Rift that will probably hold your attention the most. One of the more common complaint is the lack of map, only one per game mode. But its exactly like saying that football needs different maps.Outside the whole battles, you will still have much to plan. Each and every level - up to 30 - you will gain, IP, a rune and masteri slot. Ip is the currency which you buy characters and runes for. Runes are improvements like higher damage, faster attack speed etc, and masteries are like runes but free. One annoying thing is that characters and runes can get really expensive. This is a game which you have to invest many hour to maximise you playstyle. League of Legends has many flaws. But with that said, all of the flaws are ought weight by all of its positive notes. What is broken is usually fixed and new improvements arrives every week. The character selection and all the runes and masteries can become overwhelming, but you will learn the use of everything. What can sour you experience however are players who know nothing about good sportsmanship and teamplay so it is recommended to play with a pre-made team of friends than strangers. But all in all, its a fun game and the part best of all, it is absolutely free, so there is actually no reason to complain about the game and its content and it has earned its status among the people

There is huge issues bugging down this game first off its a pay to win kind of game upgrading you account to buff your in game heroes making the game unbalanced in that aspect. Many of the characters are a poorly done copy paste of Dota heroes. One of the biggest things though, is of all the gaming communities LoL by far has the worst of the bunch. Back to the heroes though the abilities seem really tame, the game is really simple but not in a good way and the heroes are boring to play (and you have to pay to use more then the weekly given) out of all the heroes in LoL there is one that I enjoyed playing while its successor Dota people almost always randomly pick heroes because they are more entertaining and better balanced.

This is definitely one of the worst games i have ever played. I've never been into DotA but this is so much worse than any of the other ones i've tried. The balancing is ridiculously bad and the Champions and abilities are unoriginal and some of them are clearly copies (Vayne for example). The gameplay is pretty boring and unrewarding, the community are all raging kids that will report you for anything, and worst of all a single death and your opponent will be so much stronger than you that they'll have to make a huge mistake to lose. So overall this is a horrible game and i would recommend anyone to avoid it.

League of Legends is fast paced and extremely addictive. There are the constant comparisons made to DOTA, DOTA 2, or HON but LoL is different enough from the other games that it should be considered on its own merit. One of the most attractive aspects of the game is that it is totally free. If you put in the time playing, you can earn enough IP to purchase any item, champion in the game. Every week a new selection from all of the available champions are available for free play, which gives you an opportunity to try them out before spending your hard earned IP. The longest wait time I have experienced for a matched game is about 6 seconds and that is at any hour of the day. If you are looking for a fun game that will cost nothing but the time to download, this might be for you.

I would like to note that this is my review and I hope this is of help to some. I've been playing League of Legends for a good few months now and I'm remarkably pleased with it. This game has a tough learning curve however once you overcome it I can assure that you will enjoy this game. At first the game may seem incredibly dull and lacks content, however with the range of characters and situations I find in I'm strangely engrossed in this game. Personally I recommend playing this with a group of 3 to 5 friends for the maximum entertainment. The game is reasonably balanced and all champions (characters) fit a unique play style. The game also has regular updates to keep the player incised to the game. The game is free yet has a separate real money system from the in game money system. The IG currency can buy most things that real money currency can buy, excluding things like skins which are not vital. This game is far from a 'pay to win'. The experience system also stops newer players being mixed with the more experienced players. I have yet to play the 'rival' of this game DOTA 2 but to anyone reading this, stick with the game. There is no better feeling than winning on this game.

I reached 1800 elo in season 1 and don't play much anymore, but I spend hundreds of hours watching the pros play, most recently season 2 world championships.
This game is one of the best semi-casual games out there that takes at most 1 hour for a very long game to complete. The community is thriving, the support is responsive, and the content continues to evolve. In fact, at a rate of one champion per month, it may be safe to say that there may be too many champions now given only three slots to ban and the increase issue with balance. Perhaps some champions should be retired.
While the game itself great, what distinguishes League from the rest is the professional eGaming scene that seems to keep growing. Game on!

Balancing issues and lack of full content updates make this game frustrating from time to time, Having said that once your time has been put in and you find your champions of choice you can have alot of fun playing, long game times with no alternative makes it ill advised for those who want to hop on a game kill some people in the few minutes they may have to play.

Terrible community, no sense of balance, and it's nothing but another example of "pay to win" philosophy. Don't waste your time.

League of Legends, one of the "succesors" of the original DotA map for Warcraft 3. Let's start with the good parts. It's a fun game, it's free to play and it's very customizable. There are many different runes and masteries that you can use to make all kinds of builds for your champions. The graphics are pretty good and have a cartoony aesthetic to them. However it's horribly imbalanced, some heroes being clearly better than others and it requires lots of grinding for IP/XP until you can get into the real core of the game, ranked games. In normal games you will most likely get a leaver/afk-er every few matches, making the game a complete waste of time as you can rarely win a 4v5 game. The community is horrible, full of elitist **** that will swear and insult you for the smallest mistakes.

League of legends is just a great game. The challenge to unlock all champions just makes the game playable for a long time, instead of some games that have only few unlocks.
And its so easy to find a game to participate in, it just takes like 2-3 seconds to find one.
The games has his downside, but the game play just makes it all up. So that's why i give League of legends a 9 out of 10.

This game is fantastic and despite what all the original dota fans say it is VERY balanced. Some heroes are easier to use than others but they all have the same potential in the end. its all about the skill of all the players combined. unlike the original dota if even one player is bad your whole team CAN come crashing down. this is of course unless you have a good carry. the only way i can review this game easily is to compare it to the original dota and dota 2. unlike dota1 and 2 all heroes are usable and can be used well. and unlike dota 1 and 2 playing badly beginning of the game does not doom you to have to keep dieing with out a fighting chance. This game shouldn't be compared to dota really. I think they are both good games. but this one is more modern and for a person that isnt slaved to nostalgia goggles.

The graphics **** and were clearly thought out by amateurs. The gameplay is fantastic as it is a copy of Dota, one of the best multiplayer experiences ever. However, they have taken what Dota was and actually made it worse, downgrading it in many ways. The balance is awful for this type of game, with half the characters being unplayable in tournaments because they aren't as good as the other half. Every character feels the same and plays the same as the other. You can only play 10 of the entire pool of heroes per week, unless you pay them money or play excessively long to unlock some. Invisible and different heroes are the awful, because they are so weak as to be made completely useless, to protect the noob players. The game is also so stale and predictable with as few possible elements to make the game complex. In Dota, the game is more about thinking than simply repeating the same maneuver from game to game. You will get bored of this bad downgrade of a warcraft III map.

Amazing free to play game. It did so well that it forced games like HoN to change to the LoL format. It takes a while to get going and there is a lot of smurfing (its a ftp game, of course people will have multiple accounts).

Overall a very fun game, sometimes it makes me absolutely furious, others I am burning the midnight oil playing

This game has some serious problems. Heroes are completely unbalanced due to the fact that new heroes are usually overpowered so they can sell them faster. Then they nerf them when a new hero comes available. Game mechanics are pretty boring, you can only have one play style (1 tank or off-tank top, 1 mage middle, 1 carry and 1 support bottom, and 1 jungle), don't even bother trying something different as you will only get people laughing at you. It is the same for hero builds, if you not play with exactly the same builds shown in popular guides people will blame you for everything.
Early game and mid game is fun, but when you get to level 30 the fun stops.
The LoL community is one of the worst I've ever seen. Don't matter if you are good or bad, if you win or you lose, there are people who won't stop complaining even before the match starts.

LoL is the best free to play moba at the moment. It judges player not because of money, but because of play time and experience gained by himself. Money gives you additional fun, not advantages. Of course RIOT could makes more maps, more balanced champions etc., but it's not the point. The biggest pain is community, which destoys this game and ELO rating. So effect of this we can see in every single game, if not in our then in opposite team. Well, In my opinion it's still not the RIOT fault, because they are doing everything they can.

League of legends is probably one of the more addictive free-to-play games out there. The premise is you and 4 other players face off against 5 other players/bots, the first team to destroy the enemy nexus wins. Simple, right? Well, if you intend on playing with players you're in for a rude awakening. League of Legends is plagued by quite possibly the most repulsive creatures of human society. In a strictly team-oriented game the possibility of one of your members being either a troll or an obnoxious 12 yearold who has caps-lock perpetually on is staggeringly high. Any merits this game may have is offset completely by the quality of it's community and there seems to have been little to no effort to fixing it. This game was amazing in beta and shortly after, since then it's spiraled down the drain. Top this off with developers that lie(They pride themselves on being transluscent but I've witnessed first hand them deleting an entire slew of red posts(red=riot staff, the developers) to cover up things that would ignite their playerbase. I would, under any other circumstance give this game a 9 or 10, but you will not believe how badly the community actually influences this game and I don't think I can properly express it in words as to why this game earned a 3 instead of a solid 10. You'd have to pick it up and play for a few weeks to understand just how impossible it is to play a team-centric game like LoL with the players it has.

The good thing about this Defense of the Ancients based game is that it is newbie friendly compared the other DotA spin-offs.

Only thing good about this game is it's free and you don't have anything to waste except time (loading between games succeeds at that). There are only 3 different maps you can "technically" join a queue for. This mostly applies to the Summoner's Rift map, but when you are at champion select 90% of the time users rage at your champion choice and you have to fulfill a specific role similar to a group in an mmo. If you are not fast at your pick you are most likely stuck with the role that you do not want or there will be multiples of the same role, usually mid, bot ad ranged, or top. I think they need to add more support and jungle heroes or change the style of the roles to make them not just be the gank slave (jungle) or the ward slave (support). Some of the weakest graphics of this game type and its age and f2p category. Movement and attacks feel sluggish at times, interface is rather huge, clunky and only minimal customization available (scaling frames only).

This game is really easy to learn compared to other "DotA-like" games. The game is more chance than skill based which destroys the game experience for me directly.

This game is pretty fun when you start playing. However, after a handful of games faulty game mechanics begin to surface making more and more games very one-sided. The matchmaking system is based on a so called 'ELO-rating' which should be an indicator of 'how good you are'. However, this system is only based on games won and games lost. I can safely say that 15 out of 20 games are one-sided slaughterfests, where one team completely dominates the other team (ie. the one team has at least 4 times more kills then the other, leaving that team overfed and the losing team has almost 0% chance to come back from it). Furthermore, if you do get a 'fair' matchup based on the average ELO of your team and the opposing team, you will still be pitted against teams who have way more wins on average than you have. This means that, if the matchmaking system finally puts you against people with around the same ELO, you can still lose pretty badly because the other team simply has more games played and thus way more experience with the game.
I have been playing this game for 2 years now and it seems like the broken matchmaking system only gets worse. Currently Riot has never acknowledged this problem even with countless treads about this subject on their forums, so it does not look like this problem will be solved anytime soon.
I could recommend playing this game for the first 10-20 levels of experience, but I will strongly advise everyone to not invest any money in this at all (or at least until this major problem is being dealt with). If you want to keep having fun during the first 10-20 levels you can make new accounts.

The brilliant game principle, though copied by DOTA, is what the game makes so successfull. Though the gameplay has been improved by LoL: more fluent actions, better color coding that makes units/spells/activities recognizeable in complex teamfights, improved menu overview. On the other hand: balancing due to nearly 100 champs needs a lot more re-work. Some more game modes/maps would add up to the game as well.

I used to enjoy this game a lot, but now the community and the creators (RIOT) doesn't do the same, for example, the prices have changed a lot, from the minimum price to the maximum price to all champions. Now, all the "new" champions cost the maximum money possible

League of legends is a great first MOBA for new players looking to get into the game genre. It is balanced to a very good extent, to my personal opinion. It has frequent updates, and Riot Games frequently mixes with their community, and talks with them.
The Game in a graphical standpoint, is relatively weaker than it's competitor DOTA 2, but has it's own style, runs smoothly and shows ques for players with relative easy and simplicity. Riot frequently updates older models and works towards a better game.
Balancing is frequently done, and riot listens to players to an extent. They slowly but surely work towards scaling down or buffing the champions in need. Often players complain about the "OP" champions, but that is generally hype, or lack of counter knowledge. Riot can be slow with updates, and this gets frustrating for some players. Many newer players get easily beaten by the stronger champions who only have counters like team coordination and crowd control, which newer players lack.
The latency and connection issues very infrequently occur, and when they do, they are often fixed quickly. The game is free to play to an extent, and the shop is well run, with a endgame based on rune collection, though it is pretty shallow. It is very expensive to buy skins in league, $10 each is the standard cost, but the cost can be brought down by larger purchases (ironic as that is).
I would recommend this game to newer players of the genre to get used to last hitting and team mechanics.
The MAIN down point of this game is that the general attitude towards other players is very negative, and trolls and unskilled players (Who the inadequate matchmaking system pairs you with) frequent the game, and disconnection is rife.

League has a great community with plenty of guides and pros that can help out new players. It is easy to get into and its free. Normal games never get old because it is so competitive and RIOT updates the game very often. I am level 28 out of 30 and I still haven't played all of the champions yet.

Not type in chat "can you give me a hand" makes the game frustrating. as a result you can tell the only time people talk is when nothing is happening. and number three they need a better shop menu navigating through tons of menus is great way to keep things organized, but they need a 'list all' by some rank or name or better yet a search feature. even with all that this game is extremely addictive and a lot of fun.

If you're unfamiliar with DOTA, this is basically a Real Time Strategy melded with a 3rd-Person Action/RPG (think simplified Zelda or Fable games). You fight against another team of 3 or 5 and race to destroy the opposing team's base. That's it in a nutshell, but don't be fooled as this game has plenty of nuance/complexity to keep you from getting the hang of it after one game. For new players wanting to gain a little feel for the game before going head to head with real players with experience, there's a players vs AI mode that will allow you to step up your game without being overwhelmed or yelled at. This is a mandatory option to explore for brand new players to this game world and will greatly benefit you as you'll learn it all faster in a controlled environment. Don't let any of the negative scores deter you, as League of Legends gives free to play a whole new standard of excellence. You'd expect to pay money for this kind of polish and content, but you don't. Check it out!

Very good game a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA). However, differs from other games of this type such as Dota 2 or HON, because here there are not any statistics, but it is clearly formulated Ability Damage or Attack Power. In addition, the game mechanics are not difficult to understand, so the game is very popular. In addition to constantly add new things to the game as objects, characters or skins.

This game is really good, and works well overall. On reputation, it is perhaps the best game in the MOBA genre, although I can't say that I've played any others. I can say, though, that League of Legends is really fun. The main problem with the game, for me, is the fact that the heroes are horribly unbalanced and obviously so. Combined with the fact that you often end up on or against a terrible team (especially if you solo queue), and, yeah, many games are just horrible and a waste of time. Still, this game is good enough and has sufficient depth to it that I think it is well worth trying out.

Simply put, this is DotA for children. Poor heroes balance, horrible gameplay, childish graphics and permament perks kill the purpose of the Defense of the Ancients genre. It might be interesting for gamers who never played the genre, so they can learn the basics before starting to play real games, such as DotA, DotA 2 or Heroes of Newerth; this game's community is full of newbies and having a bad player on your team doesn't really matter here; teamplay and strategy have been completely forgotten.

Free 2 Play! And properly! I played it for 200 hours + and never had a disadvantage for not paying! But there is loads of stuff to buy! My friend already spend 150 bucks and is happy too. Since dominion it is one of the coolest and freshest DoTA child's out there. Its properly balanced, has a lot of different champions. If you want to take it to the max its awful complex but its easy 2 start with. And if you are not happy with the community stop whining be nice and reports all blockheads and you will find a loot of cool players =) Happy LoL'ing everyone!

League of Legends is a game that has been created from Riot Games, who were a part of the developers of DotA.
With an easier concept and more rookie friendly elements, they started League of Legends.
Once you started you cannot stop playing it.
I cannot tell exactly what it is that keeps me playing it, maybe this:
-A Lot of players
-The Community is great (regular patches, new content, events, tournaments).
-Very good f2p pay system(everything that has influence in a match is buyable with ingame cash)
-Price of a champion is independend on their power. Every champ has their up and downs.
Well here come the down sites:
-Graphics are too comic like. At this point I prefer the current DotA 2
-A LOOOOOT of flaming kiddies (like in CoD) that will desttroy your fan at the game.
-Many experienced players create new accounts for 'pwning noobs' which makes it a little bit hard for newcomers to get into the game.
-Bad reconnect system (if you have a broken connection like me)
-Too many changes in a short period(in the last 6 months almost every champion/item/mode has been changed) which also makes unbalance the game even more.
-Elo system for ranked matches in the leaderboard system (you are a good player and always get bad teams....then you are stuck in elo hell like me)
So overall i really like this game and play it a lot.
It qualities are not visible in the first view.
You should at least try it for some matches out because its a free 2 play title.

Disclaimer: Long read, you've been warned
I have played this game over extensively and can safely say that I know the game inside and out. I've been playing it for 2 years now and have over 1000 games (which sadly equates to about a month of ACTUAL PLAY time). Thus I can adequately explain the ins and outs, the pros and cons of the game. Starting with what makes the game great, is the overall re-playability value. Anyone that greatly enjoys this game will be able to play it for years because of the constantly changing variety of characters and play style. Characters can be played a multitude of different ways, with each having their own personalized charm. Some characters are downright hilarious with how they work in game, and I can't help but laugh even after playing them for the 50th time. It is a completely free game in that any aspects of getting a "head start" do not exist no matter how much money you spend on it getting purely aesthetic skins. The free champions switch every week to allow players to try out new champions. The in game points are used to purchase champions (permanently) and runes that allow for even further customization of your play style before the game even starts. The gameplay itself is thrilling enough in that I am screaming as I run through the jungle being chased by half the enemy team for my teammates to save me.
My favorite part of the game which I'm sure many people overlook or flat out don't have the chance to experience is how well this game can bring a group of people together. This game is a social experience and it has allowed me to socialize with friends that have gone off to colleges in far off places that I don't have the chance to see much of. Playing this game with friends is what makes league of legends one of my favorite games.
That being said, getting to the cons of the game, if you don't have friends to play with, this game will not be as appealing to you. Me and my friends often joke about "randoms" being these horrible mindless creatures that are typically out to ruin everything, so playing with random people constantly will produce a very inconsistent experience that will probably not be enjoyed.
Also the game has a tremendous learning curve, such that those who are just starting and have not played RTS or MOBA games before will do terribly and be discouraged because of it. Not to be taken as a light game, more on the hardcore side of games.
This game also comes under the realm of games that gears itself towards the male gamer audience, in that the avatars of the female characters sport skimpy clothing and huge breasts, but that's just my philosophical side showing. Overall this game gets a 10 from me based on my excessive love for this game, but I am biased in that I have significant circumstances that make my game experience playing this fantastic. This game is not for everyone.

League of Legends delivers a generally good MOBA experience. Starting with the faults, the game has a rather large learning curve, but that is part of its charm. The developers are slightly greedy, as it takes absolutely forever to unlock new champions for free. The game is generally balanced, meaning it is not pay-to-win, thankfully. The community is pretty bad, but there are plenty of E-Sports events associated with the game, and watching the competitive matches is great fun. The champion roster is huge, and new champions are released quite often. People who play this game are generally very dedicated to it. As a final summary sentence, League of Legends delivers a fantastic online MOBA experience.

League of Legends is possibly one of the fastest growing MMOs out on the market right now. the game plays like DOTA, (basically Tower Defense+World of Warcraft's battlegrounds in third-person over the top view). You start out the game only using the free to play champions, which switch every week, then as you play more games, level up and gather IP (in game currency), you can afford to buy the champs that appeal to you the most. The game features some of the most strategic and cooperative gameplay on the market, featuring 5v5, 3v3 normal, and draft modes (banning champs, strategic team compositions, ect), as well as 3v3 and 5v5 ranked game modes which can be accessed once reaching the highest level (level 30). Reaching top level will take you on average of about a months worth of play, and unlocking runes, building mastery pages, and buying champions will take you even longer. One of the most fun and addicting games out now, definitely has a learning curve (which isn't bad), and has potential to be one of the better or best MMO on the market.

Addicitve and extremely fun when matchmaking works. Probably the most fun I have had in anything PVP. Simpler than similiar games (like DoTA, HoN) but still very deep. It is truly free to play (you can buy everything, but you can use in game currency for everything but additional skins).
However, matchmaking works maybe 50% of the time. Sometimes a week can go inbetween close games. Few characers that are constantly overpowered and constantly banned in ranked games. One unfriendly person can ruin a game for 9 other people. Graphics, when compared to DoTA 2 are bad. Balancing of the game is very uneven (especially since a new character gets introduced every 2 weeks).

this is a really, really fun game. It's multiplayer only, so it's rough if you expect to learn in single player, but it's a lot easier to get into than DOTA, and its a lot less punishing in feel with a much nicer community. Supposedly its very competitive too. I like the faster pace and greater emphasis on team combat compared to DOTA.

Watch out : Highly addictive gameplay. There is champions for every gameplay style you like. Frequent patches which add new content, with explanations of the changing features. Graphics are harmonious and clear. Great to play with friends. Easy to learn to play, hard to master. And come on guys its FREE! Got a few technical problems in the past but it is all set now. On the bad side, the community is horrible, probably because of the coop gameplay where the failure of one affect the whole team. It gives you a great overview of human stupidity.

Fun and addictive, this game will eat up a lot of your time. Only drawback is that there are quite a few unbalanced issues in the game. Riot games has been fixing up these issues quite frequently but some champions it seems that riot games favour too much and does not want to nerf making it frustrating for players to see the same champions in every match due to their "op" stance.

As a game, it is incredibly fun, numerous improvements have been made to it after release, its microtrnsaction model is successful in not skewing the balance of the game.
The game is very stable, rarely crashes and has a good framerate and artstyle, how it lacks the graphical punch of HoN of the upcoming DOTA 2. However I see this as an advantage, making it rather clear who is damaging who, the spells and abilities being cast etc, etc.
This game also receives updates every 2 weeks, and normally its a new champion or a rebalance, but sometimes they come out with a huge patch.
It is fun, somewhat balanced and easy to get into with the friendliest community you can get from a MOBA game. Riot games has achieved a great community which create great fan art and machinima.
I would give this a 9, but the negative reviews are very scathing and do not include much reasons for their apathy for the game. Nothing but trolls, with a very skewed viewpoints.

Almost every game matched against way stronger opponents. Most of the time they have played tons of more games than myself (100 wins against people with 1000's of wins). Also a solo player does not stand a chance because you will be matched against full premade teams (4-5 players) most of the time. Without friends to play with this is a game that should be skipped.

Don't let some of the older reviews fool you, LoL has come a long way and there's plenty of good things to say about it. The graphics are fine and fit a niche. There are a huge number (around 80) of champions at the moment so there's plenty of replayability. Most players are pretty competitive too, so there's always a good challenge. I disagree with people who say it's less "hardcore" than DotA or HoN. I've played both of those and feel they are less team-oriented than LoL where you're team is constantly struggling to end up with more gold than the other team so they can make a push to try and win the game. My only real complaints are that there are some small issues that Riot chooses not to fix (like no way to scale minimap) and they tweak the game a little too hard some times and it throws things off a lot. If you enjoy team-oriented games and hero building games like DotA then you should give it a shot. It's free after all

For people who haven't played DotA, Heroes of Newearth or Rise of the Immortals, this game might prove to be a bit difficult. What really makes this game fun is playing with 4 of your friends as you take down the enemy team. If you're not a team player sort of person then don't touch this game. The game is constantly updated, new heroes are added every few weeks and glitches are fixed. The community isn't perfect, but I have met more friendly players than horrible ones. There is also a match making system which allows you to play with people of your own level, so that a new comer won't get their asses handed to them by casual players.

I have nothing against this game in particular, but rather the DotA genre as a whole. The game is built around long matches of grinding as fast as possibly to get to a higher level than your enemies, at which point you'll win because of your stats.
If you die then your enemy gets lots of experience, which gives your teammates lots of reasons to hate you, and the actual combat is boring as hell!
The one positive thing I has to say about this game is that the graphics are nice.

this game is so well mad that i gave its a 9. super close to 100% perfect. its like 9.5. so good that it is one of my favorite games. its fun, well made, good updates, frequent updates, popular and isnt hard to play on my computer. and best of all, its free! how could you reject this game. it sounds like all of the other MOBA game fans played it just to find faults, because their problem are exaggerated and easily fixable. Bad graphics? get a better computer because you are on low settings. otherwise you are comparing them to Dota, and even still, they are at least good. a champion is underpowered or overpowered? they make it on purpose for some champions to be worse. those are for the better players. the cheap champions are for more noobish players. and in the end, that sometimes doesn't even matter, it all depends on the difficuly of mastering a champion and how good a player is. and if a pro is playing tryndamere then you should be pro enough to the point that it doesnt matter too much, from there on it is just skill. and by the way champs like taric arent mainly to battle. i saw something about buy to win and i facepalmed. you buy skins. SKINS. doesnt make a difference in gameplay. runes are ip only and if you are talking about champ then just stop being lazy and get some ip. 3 maps is by far enough in my opinion. and dont hate the game because of a bad community. i dont know about other moba games but lol is pretty awesome.

Great Game but it has 2 main Lacks
The first lack is the balancing. There are about 90 champs now and the more champs riot makes the harder it becomes to balance the game. but they are already releasing new champions instead of focus on balancing
the second thing is the lack of maps (3)

First of all this game is Free to Play, which already adds that much value to the game itself. It is basically a spin-off of Dota that uses cell shaded/anime style graphics for the characters. The gameplay is very similar to Dota and emphasizes teamwork and communication. It's a game really easy to pick up but difficult to master, as you will need a thorough understanding of all the characters to be considered an expert at the game. This is all the more difficult, since the developers are constantly pumping out new characters and implementing character balances approximately every 2 weeks. The game is in a desperate need of new maps. There are currently 3 maps: Summoner's Rift, Twisted Treeline and the Crystal Scar. I never really understood why the developers kept building new characters to use instead of making new maps, simply because all the Dota related games follow the format of adding new heroes/champions/characters. Different game modes would also be good. The newest Crystal Scar map is a step in the right direction. I think this game will continue to develop into a better and better game, over time. (Overall: 7+ lots of potential to be a 10)

MOBA (Dota) style games are rapidly becoming popular, after playing several League of Legends (LoL) is the title that sticks out for me. The game play is terribly addicting and wonderfully exhausting, the end of each game needs a well earned cool off period, however with matches being fairly lengthy this is not a game you can have a quick match on.
The graphic style I personally find quite charming. The simple textures and bright colours allow for a wide range of PC's to run LoL with no problem and still look great providing you don't zoom in too far. The detail of the maps is good and there no characters that I feel were given less attention visually.
Match making is simple and easy, you can join solo games with complete strangers that are of a similar level, or you and any number of friends can team up in 5v5 and 3v3. Your progression as a gamer increases over time with each win and loss contributing to your summoner level, a higher summoner level gives you more access to customisation options and buffs for your character, although this means that people higher than your level will be undoubtedly stronger than you in more ways than one.
LoL is a brilliant and addicting game, but it has it's problems. The biggest complaint for myself and the biggest complaint many people will present is that the community is extremely hostile. Every player seems to be either brilliant at the game, but a horrible person, or very bad at the game and lovely. There seems to be no middle ground of players you either rule or ****.
Another Problem I have is that although the game offers a huge and diverse selection of characters, there is very little selection of maps. With 2 main maps, a 5v5 (Summoners Rift) and 3v3 (Twisted Treeline) There is colour swapped version of the 5v5 and a special tutorial level that is very small, but other than that there is very little variety. The game is well worth checking out for anyone interested in the genre. And as it's free you have nothing to lose with no obligation to pay. However be prepared for a very unforgiving environment and to have summoners rift burned into your eye balls.

League of Legends is a wonderful game with a free-to-play option. If you try it and find out you do not like it, fortunately you didn't have to sacrifice anything but your bandwidth to try it out. It is not a game you can just pick up and expect to be good at. Riot releases new champs frequently and constantly patches to create balances and change the gameplay style up a bit.

Fun game, unique characters for the most part, graphics are what you'd expect from a dota/hon type game. A game you can easily pick up and put down at the same time with no real problems. The downside? I guess the lack of support for banning people who actually need it is definitely a problem, if the abysmal community doesn't already irritate you to the ends of the earth. There are also WAY too many characters. So many in fact, that some abilities on one character are found on another. In any case, its a fun game, worth trying. But if you didn't like Hon/Dota before, you're probably not going to like this.

It's important to note that my review of this game is from the perspective of a competitive gamer of many years. League of Legends is just a game designed to make money, and boy does it succeed at that. It has almost no competitive viability aside from its large playerbase. Balancing takes a back seat to anything that will drive a sale, overpowered heroes for example. I gave the game a chance but the free to play platform for this genre just doesn't mesh whatsoever for me, I desire a competitive and balanced experience and this does not offer that, indeed it doesn't even try.
-Update since dominion-
Now, at least, the game has a redeeming quality, a unique game type 'Dominion' that doesn't attempt to follow the dota genre. Now my review lands in the yellow.

A free to play Team-RPG/Tower-Defence game held up by micro transactions. The game however does not hinder your gameplay if you are not willing to make an investment. You only play for convenience and vanity items. The game has a simplistic yet clear graphical style, meaning your weaker computer will be able to play it. Tutorials to help you learn the game, menus are easy to navigate. This game also has a pretty good matchmaking system, meaning you will likely play against players of equal skill, the community might be hostile towards a player learning the ropes tho.

Incredible game, far superior to any other MOBA on the market at the moment. Graphically it is dated, for those of you who have seen any of the DotA 2 Gamescom competition footage, League is by far not the prettiest game out there. However, it does easily outshine Heroes of Neweth graphically. It is suffice to say that LoL's graphics suffice and the cartoony, bright style works well and character models and skins are all very well rendered. Gameplay wise there are few game modes, 5v5, 3v3 and then bot, ranked and custom modes. While there are functionally only two playable maps; Summoners Rift (either Autumn or Spring skinned, Winter skinned at Christmas time) or Twisted Treeline (no skins for this map) the addition of added game rules adds longevity and the existence of both beginner and intermediate bots provides an excellent training ground for new players or even old players who seek to try new builds in a non-competitive environment.
Which brings us to the community, LoL unfortunately is beginning to suffer from aggro-creep not at all dissimilar to what infects the HoN community. While all new players begin at level one and through playing games acquire in game currency (which can be spent on a number of things in the store) one can chart the level of a player according to behaviour, the closer to 30 a player seems to get the more intolerant of mistakes they become in their team mates and themselves with losses often getting a curt GG or silence.
The developer though attempts to regulate this behaviour by providing a report function in which any aggrieved player can report other players who have caused problems or been antisocial and a highly motivated player support team on the part of the developer reviews these game logs and hands out bans or cautions appropriately. In fact so vigilant are these guardians of propriety that the LoL community should be more accurately described as 'Passive Aggressive' with the majority of players often settling for curt, snarky comments out of fear of the ban hammer. Regardless it helps prevent the rise of the trolling culture found in many other competitive games like CoD, HoN, Halo, etc.
Gameplay wise the development team is constantly tweaking heroes attempting to find just the right balance for gameplay, this doesn't always work but as it is a never-ending process it doesn't really matter except in extreme cases (like Evelynn). Otherwise the game is a very much tweaked version of the original DotA and the average game lasts anywhere from 20-90 mins (in extreme cases), with the option for either team to surrender after the 20min mark.
This game is free to play but you must pay real currency to obtain skins for champions - functionally just a vanity item. I would (and have) recommended this game to anyone with a love of deep strategy and skill, it far exceeds anything else on the market currently and in all likelihood will continue to shiny brightly even when DotA 2 releases.
Report

For those who feel the need to compare LoL with DotA, this game definitely trumps that. Teamwork, the right in-game build, and the right meta build all contribute to a very strategic gameplay. The fact that there's such a huge playerbase only adds to the fun, though I'd highly recommend playing with friends who know what they're doing over playing random queues. The only beef I have with the game is that you have to grind matches in order to reach the max level, which is unnecessary given the implementation of an ELO system.

I've been playing League of Legends since August or September 2010.
The game is addictive as hell and it now has tons of champions, about 80 or so. What makes this game different (and imo better) than the original DOTA is the new mechanics they've put in the game, such as summoner spells, runes, masteries, which all allows you to customize your character even before the game starts, allowing players to create their own way of playing certain champions.
Furthermore it keeps the player addicted, since you want more champions, you need runes to be as efficient as others etc. This is not a bad thing in my opinion, it gives you a goal when playing. And now they are coming up with a new map and they are actually getting way better at balancing the game, so it is more enjoyable. Overall I find the game to be quite fantastic, given it is a F2P game ^^

League of legends is a successor/clone of Defense of the Ancients mod for Warcraft 3. the gameplay is much easy to understand than any other DOTA clones, making it easier to play.
--------------------------------------------
The main criticism isnt towards the gameplay, but rather to the Economy of the game. Each weak 10 champions are "randomly" selected for players to use who havent purchased. Then each of the characters has to be purchased either using Cash converted to the non-refundable ingame Premium Currency, or through the ingame "free" currency that you acquire through play.
Neither is a good option, as the Premium currency is roughly $5-20 per item, and with the 100+ characters and skin changes, it costs HUNDREDS of dollars to acquire everything. The "free" currency is gained very slowly and cant purchase the skin changes for the characters. the Majority of characters take between fifty and 100 games played, with each game taking 30 minutes to an hour to complete.
The developers regularly have discounts on certain items paid with Premium Currency, have only recently made any kind of price reduction for non-cash players on some champions, and then only the oldest. They are making 2 new champions each month, at around $9-10 each.
Constant changes to the characters abilities make some near impotent in terms of gameplay, until another change comes out restoring them to fighting shape.
-----------------------
Overall the developers and business managers of the game seem to hate their audience, regularly abusing the users. Expensive virtual rewards, tedious "grinding" as an alternative, and constant depreciation of items people pay money or time for are what to expect.
If you play this game, I hope you enjoy it, but bring your credit card.

League of Legends is an amazing strategy game for hardcore players as well as new comers. All the characters have a very unique feel and consist on vastly different builds. You'll always have a new experience from going one to another no matter what. The game tactics are often very simple, attack gank or defend and then switch up, theres oddly no room for real tactics. The game itself gets boring quickly, one game tends to be easily 40+ minutes. It severely lacks maps and other game modes as well. The updates come quick but are often new characters, nothing really special. I'd seriously like to see some balancing as well, a big batch of characters are far too powerful. Overall, it's great. You'll have a MUCH better experience with LoL if your playing with a friend, or if you've played strategy games in the past. I would have given this game an 8, but some things seriously need to change in the League of Legends.

League of Legends is a fairly fast-paced MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena). Teamwork isn't completely vital at all times, but teamwork does make the game much more interesting. The free-to-play model makes it easy to pick up and play. The game is constantly updated with new champions. And with the largest update ever on the way dubbed "Dominion" we should finally begin to see a large variation in gameplay choices. Many heroes play uniquely, while there are only two choices in regards to maps. This game skimps in some areas while completely excelling in it's strong points. Try it out, it's free.

So based upon my first review, The balance gets better once u know how to play it (i recommend to get a friend that knows it to explain to you) But the disconnecting penalty system is totally unreliable + they give you an option to explain your disconnects but theres no chance they will lift it (what exactly is the point of it then?)
Bear this in mind before u read what my experience is:
-"Q: I just got disconnected from two games! Am I Going to get banned?
A: Probably not. The system will nail you only for a pattern of doing this."
-"On December 14th, we launched our automated leaver banning system. The purpose of this system is to dissuade players from leaving games/going AFK. We do this first by giving a warning, and then banning in larger and larger increments when players leave games/go AFK."
-"Q: How long can I get banned for?
A: The automated system can ban you for anywhere between 1 hour and 7 days for any particular issue. However, we will be sweeping the records, and will periodically perma-ban people that hit the 7 day ban too many times."
-"Q: How do I 'work off' leaves?
A: You can reduce points either through time (having no penalties for several weeks), and through every game you complete in matchmaking that was not a leave or that you contributed to for the whole duration of the game."
In my experience: i have 3 disconnects, 1st one i didnt know about this system, 2nd one i had to leave because an emergency in real life, 3th one i got disconnected by a a gamefreeze because the server was extremely lagging, took up to 5-6 seconds before my character did what i told it to do and therefore it was unplayable anyway.
1st: leaving 2 games is not a pattern => apparently leaving 3 games is, cause i got suspended for a day (!)
2nd: So according to their FAQ they could have just suspended my account for an hour which seems more 'reasonable' if they really wanted to ban my account for those 3 leaves. instead i got a full day.
3th: I would also like to warn anyone on planning playing this game that IF u leave (based upon my XP) for about 10 games probably, you will get banned for 7 days. And if u do this often you will get PERM banned.
4th: They claim to send u a warning trough email if your disconnecting level gets to high.
This is a lie period. I triple checked my e-mail and the only thing i've found was the email they sent me when i actually got the suspension.
5th: The system is completely unreliable as there are too many variables that need to be taken in account when you enforce this kind of system. for instance: PC crash, modem crash, game freezes and not starting up again, Real life mathers,..
Its a noble idea but it lacks a lot in execution. If u are a die hard pro this system then i can only say, wait untill ur game crashes a few times or ur power drops out or whatever else can happen to you and u get banned for a couple days because of that and thats the point. There is no reliability Banning for 3 dissconnects, without a warning, without a so called pattern they mentioned, 3times is not a pattern whatsoever. And instead one hour a day = sad.
Other games require people to be there and participate as well and its very annoying if one of em leaves for any of the reasons i described above but yet its understandable that u can run into situations you dont have any choice.
Tho these games do not have this penalty system and still work fine without it.
games like CoH, Starcraft, WC3,.. pretty much any good strategy game out there.
Yes you will most likely lose games because of this but everyone will encounter that at a certain point.
Here a part of my useless message to riotgames related to that suspension:
"First time i read that message i wasn't really happy with something like that, sure if a player leaves that screws up the game for others. But same story with new players who dont know how to play the game yet. The main question raises in my mind is: Is riotgames going to suspend accounts for being new and screw up the game for others by not knowing how to play? Are you going to suspend accounts for people that have to leave because of an emergency?
This whole concept sounds like a noble idea to prevent ragequitting but there is no way to know the reasons why anyone would leave a game. Some find it a good idea, im one of the people that saying its noble but not reliable at all period.
regards, Tritrium"
In the end its no use to send them messages as they wont lift bans.
3 disconnects -> no warning = a day banned.
If i didnt know any better i would say this is quite insane for leaving 3 games.
Regards,
Tritrium

Probably the best DotA style game out there. It keeps everything relatively simple and adds some exciting additions such as masteries and gems. (My account is lvl 30). However, the developers often make some really dumb mistakes. For example - there is a new champion every 2 weeks. There is already an absolutely huge amount of champions and adding more at such a fast rate forces you to keep playing or get lost with patches and new champions (like World of WarCraft). The devs always change things that dramatically change the game. If you take a 3 month break, you'll come back to a different game. This rapid champ addition makes it really hard for new players to become familiar with the game even after its confusing mechanics. If you can deal with the very large learning curve, then LoL becomes a really fun game. I highly recommend it.

At first it was a little difficult to grasp the concept of the game. But after jumping into a match with other players, and soon friends, I was instantly grasped by it. While some of the features on the game are somewhat confusing to the leisure gamer, if you spend the time to fully explore everything beneath the surface, you'll find a world of customization at your fingertips.

One of the better games I have played in a long time. The graphics aren't the best, but they do not detract for the gameplay, and Riot Games is currently working to update the graphics later on. However, the graphics and the UI are very clear-cut do a great job in making everything in the game visually easy to understand. LoL also has an excellent pay model, allowing users to purchase champions and cosmetic skins with actual cash, while still allowing said champions to be purchased through earned in-game currency, and keeping anything that can affect actual gameplay (runes) obtainable through in-game currency only. Riot Games also releases updates and adds new champions on a biweekly basis to keep the game balanced to the best of their ability. Riot Games interacts well with its userbase and listens to community feedback to prioritize balance issues. League of Legends is a worthy DotA successor and is definitely worth trying out.

This is a very, very well done game. Good balance, pretty good effects, and a very enjoyable experience, on top of it all the game is FREE. It also has the best competitive environment right now in Esports besides the Starcraft franchise, which will never be dethroned. The only complains i have are the lack of new maps, the really bad servers (really just on patch days, theyre normally fine others), And tthat the graphics are very dated. Other then that, very good.

This game is simply wonderful. The only downside that I've really seen to the game, is that due to it's free to play business strategy, they release champions at a very costly 6300 IP (Influence Points - earned by playing games and participating in the tribunal). 6300 IP will take somewhere in the range of 50-75 games to get. Games on average are approximately 35 minutes, but can go as long as an hour.
There are champion bundles that can be purchased for similar prices of other, cheap games. This allows you to have a decent collection of champions when getting right into things.
People need to understand that creating these games costs money. The business requires a method of generating income. Anyone complaining that Riot Games makes it more desirable to purchase Riot points than it is to generate influence points needs to rethink this topic.
It should be mentioned that no specific benefit is gained by purchasing riot points. They cannot be used to give an advantage over free players. The only benefit to spending actual money is that you do not need to spend the time.
New champions are released every two weeks. The second week they are out, they put up as Free to play for one week. They rotate champions on a weekly basis, ensuring that all of the roles are filled by free picks (support, dps, tanky dps, tanks, mage, etc)
Someone who does not have the expendable income to spend on the game, and also does not have much time to play, will need to be content with the free champions until they find one that they truly want to play as their main champion and purchase it.
It should be noted that most players tend to stick to 3-6 champs that they play most often.
A great game. A great price. A great business model.
I recommend this to everyone I talk to that plays video games.

Perfect, simply perfect. The guys from DoTA really outdid themselves on this one, and it shows exactly how much they were aware of in the industry and the fan base when they laid this thing out.
The graphics are exactly as they should be, slightly cartoony, but they make low-res look good. The entire feel of the interface, the characters, the animations and particles, all of them fit into exactly what you'd think of for a game like this. The characters feel like toons, which is exactly what they are, your own personal disposable soldiers. The gameplay is spot on, not a single beat missed anywhere. The action is easy to get into and yet still engaging several hundred hours in. The developers are very in-tune with the players, paying a lot of attention to their concerns and fostering the first real competitive online game. This one is an instant classic.
Being free to play in this context isn't a bad thing. The fundamental concept of the game, every match being a clean slate full of level 1 players, is such an even and refreshing experience that being a "free" player versus being someone who has dropped hundreds of dollars into the game doesn't tilt the power balance too far, and the makers of the game intend it to be that way. It's completely brilliant on their part.
The only issues I lament right now are the lack of follow-through on the in game reporting system for players out there to ruin the experience, but with such a massive player base, I can't fault them for not being able to handle the hundreds of thousands of reports they get daily. The lack of maps is another issue I hear complained about frequently but I personally don't mind it, although a new map is finally being released Q3 this year.
Ultimately I can't say anything but good about this game, it's #1 on my game selection from the day I started it up.

Being a very long member of the LoL community, I would say this game is too heavily reliant on your team (and nothing else). It punishes you more for other teammates' mistakes and less rewarding for your own achievements. But! The premades and friends you make could more than make up for it (maybe...).

I give it 3 coz I really love this game. It has rather poor graphics, but it's free, has addictive game-play and doesn't destroy it with micro payments that are not a must to have fun. But what's the point to like game when you actually cannot play it? The only time when I'm able to log into without much of a problem is around midnight. Trying to log late afternoon/evening takes hours and most of the time you will fail anyway. If it would be game deserving 6-7 rating I wouldn't mind it, I would just stop playing - but as I really like it, and really want to play it, I waste a lot of time coz of this. Because when you're asked to wait hour to log you have to waste this hour for smth, and in most cases after like 55mins of waiting you will get server disconnected mssg anyway and will have to start all over again. So even as this game is 8, maybe even 9 for me I gave it 3 - for all this wasted time for waiting.

It was good, untill The login quoues gets up to 3 hrs... and then it loggs out and the servers are not avaible, and when they are again you are put back in 3hrs quoue.

While writing this I had sit it quoue for about 2hrs to log in and was not long left. But I got this messege, "server is busy try again later" And I have to wait another 2 hrs to log in.

In my opinion having both played LoL HoN and DotA I would rank them as 3-2-1, 1 beaing the highest while 3 the lowest The reason for this is that LoL is basically a dumbed down version of DotA to the point of significantly altering the gameplay negatively to make it easier. While HoN remains true to DotA with the added incentives of graphics reconnection and such. TL;DR If you played DotA, had fun and looking for a game based on it go for HoN. If you are below 13 and want a more newb friedly game choose LoL.

A truly, worthy successor and standalone of the incredibly popular Defense of the Ancients. League of Legends is by far the most highly addictive MOBA game to date and this is due to the fact that LoL game be played by both Casual gamers and Hardcore gamers so equally without much rabble like that from DotA and HoN. Riot Games went with a more cartonny approach which not only looks great but makes it possible for low-end computers to play as well. The balancing is very good with only minor balance issues but really, its impossible to have a completely balance game with 70+ indiviually unique champions. Overall League of Legend is a remarkably excellent game and is the current dominator of the fued between LoL and HoN. With new champions coming out every 2 weeks, its hard to see this game falling apart.

This game successfully follows up as a more casual form of the all time favorite DOTA, providing a plethora of champions to choose to fight as. Because of the DOTA roots, its shares its troubles, but improves upon the system and creates a fun game to play. Because it is free to play, one must remember that the first few levels are filled with more trolls or quitters than at higher ranks, but their new tribunal system which allows players to vote on the guilt of those reported will do much to combat this. Overall, a fun game, especially at the price of free.

This game is incredibly fun but the community is downright terrible. I know Riot was looking into ways to solve some of the community issues such as griefers, leavers, and trolls in both uncompetitive and competitive play. Even with the community issues (hey.. its a free game..expect more poor "entitled" morons than usual) the game is fantastic. It is incredibly well balanced and with a few friends on skype or ventrillo its replayability is ENDLESS. This is certainly a game to have handy if you've got an hour to kill and want to fill it with a great team based strategy game.

League of Legends is a fairly well polished game in that it optimizes team gameplay and coordination. Every aspect of the game requires you to cooperate with your team, meaning that this game requires you to rely on your teammates, however there is enough room for individuals to "carry" their team to victories.
Many of the champions are fun to play, and have a broad range of abilities and style. However, Riot spends too much time creating new characters, which are no longer as unique and are not balanced properly. There are much bigger things in the game that can be worked on besides new characters, such as balancing issues and the matchmaking system for ranked games.
Overall, this game is fun and sometimes it can be a blast, but many times the game can be flat out disappointing. Riot spends way too much time creating unnecessary characters, which are released roughly every two weeks, instead of balancing current characters. Many characters lost their uniqueness because of Riot's overwhelming creation of new champions.

League of Legends got great potential, its really addicting game, but the lack of balance is really great problem.There are still champions that are OP like leblanc, annie, etc and champions that are UP like ezreal, cassiopea, kennen, which Riot seems not to see.
Also if you want to share this at the forum you will be just downvoted and your thread will be closed.
Other thing is that Riot fails to free the game from leavers/feeders.
I really enjoyed this game before, but i cant play it anymore, because its only making me nervous.
Every game 4vs5 or got feeder or noob..
Riot really must think about that and start concentrating on the problems of the game,not the content.

While this game is fun and entertaining it has some major flaws. The game itself is based on the DoTA mod for warcraft III. Essentially it is an action RTS game with tower defense elements. You control a champion and try to push each lane. Killing Minions and other champions while destroying towers. It can be very fun especially when you find a good group to play with. Huge balance issues bring it down as the same overpowered characters are constantly being played. Other than the excessive amount of characters to choose from there is very little depth in the game itself. Riot as a developer has some major shortcomings as well. Their patches usually cause more problems than they fix. They constantly promise improvements and additions that never see the light of day. There are only two maps that are currently playable(3v3 and 5v5). Though you will still only ever play one of them (5v5). They have been promising a new map and new modes since launch which was nearly two years ago. They even leaked a map last October that still has yet to be released. As a free to play game it is worth the time for installation. However they make up for the game being free by charging ridiculous amounts for characters and skins. A character or skin will run you $7 to $15 each. No those are not bundle prices those are individual prices. With 70+ characters and each character having 4 or more skins it can get incredibly expensive. To sum up it can be a fun game to play as long as you don't expect any real depth. Just be wary of paying for the characters and skins.

Captivating and extremely well conceived title. Free to play but almost immediately merits some kind of compensation. It won't be long before you are wanting to pay Riot Games for their effort and thankfully, their micro-transaction store is second to none.

It is a decent game that you can get lots of hours of enjoyment. Depending on your team composition- what characters your teammates chose, and how skilled they are- the gameplay changes quite drastically. This game reminds me of team fortress 2, well-balanced game with distinctive characters with varying gameplay mechanics.
Like team fortress 2, many of the game elements are repeated in each game. I feel hollow after playing too much of this game, like having a lengthy, enjoyable conversation and realizing I have been talking about nothing. In small doses, however, this game is commendable in its immersiveness, and its generosity in offering many of the key features for free.

Some critics need need to re-review this game. I've been playing League of Legends since May 2010 and this game has been completely transformed since then.

I've been playing this game for over a year now (I was a beta tester for this game) and i would like to say it's awesome, i've had very little to no problems with crashes (Like previous people have been complaining about) it takes little memory resources for my computer (DDR3 RAM 4gb) and i have spent absolutely nothing on the game (I have played roughly 1000 matches on this game all together) and i am still playing it. This is the same with many of my friends (I invite a friend every month or so and try to make them a pro). You can play this casually or competitivly. Paying money gains you little to no advantage (It only allows you to get characters faster) all the characters are balanced (You just need to know how to play them) some are easier than others and that's when misconceptions seem to happen, you can't allow these ignorant people put you off trying this game. (Graphics aren't everything).

This is one the BEST free to play games I have ever experienced. I have played a lot of free to play games over the years and I find one flaw in most all of them - Pay money to win. This is the ONLY game I have seen that paying real money into the game does not mean winning or being over balanced. Anything that is of importance in the way of "getting the edge on the competition" can be gotten with by playing the game in the free sense. I have not spent a penny on this game and I have never run into someone who can pay their way to victory. Unlike some of the other "free" games this actually makes me want to spend money to buy skins or whatever. If you like this type of game (which I find difficulty placing other than an RPG/Competitve game) then this is your game. Do not hesitate to download this game. Shout out to Riot Games for such an amazing display of amazing game fairness. I am not a big "Graphics! Graphics! Graphics!" person, but I do enjoy turning my computers graphics up to it's full potential when I can. This game is visually pleasing. It's graphic are very good for all the it entails. I like the graphics of the game personally, but it's no FPS detail graphics game when you break it down. The graphics are a bit childish when you play it, but your view of the game being childish changes when you see a Cho'Gath feasting on another **** that is blood not katchup. The animation for the movements are very fitting. The only complaint that I have heard from anyone about the movements is that the characters do not turn around, they just move. But hey it doesn't bother me.
When I play video games, I go to options>sounds and turn off the music. I can't tell you how good the music is, but I have not heard any complaints. I do know however that the game sound fit the environment and that the taunts and jokes the characters say can be very funny. I know the action sounds good (to me) and thats all I can tell you.
If you want to try this game, use this link. It'll give me a referral. Thank You

League of Legends is a free-to-play Defense of the Ancients style RTS in which you control one of many champions in a team of 3 or 5 to take on another team of champions. As a summoner, you control your champion which can take on one of many roles (such as Tank, DPS, Ranged DPS, Carry) Riot continue to release new champions, but there is a need for balance that shows, some weeks (Updates are done weekly) One or two champions will be g-g-g-god-like (ha!) to be over-nerfed the next week. This fact doesn't remove from the fun of the game too much, but it can become frustrating at times. Another downside to this game is that entering Solo play can be treacherous, you can be paired with griefers who are solely trying to ruin the game for your team, but don't let that put you off as the game is incredibly fun and challenge and after getting used to it, you'll wonder why you didn't play it earlier.

I've been playing this game for a while, and no, it's not just a mod. The graphics are a bit low poly, but when 10 people are fighting each other onscreen at once with lots of particle effects you don't want to be chug because of the trees, terrain, or mobs being too high res.
The game runs very smooth and that's what counts with a PvP game or a MOBA.
There are tons of champions to choose from and half the fun is learning all of them. I highly recommend this one.

On the surface this game seems good but there are a number of horrendous issues. Firstly, the game is technically laughable. It crashes regularly in many and various ways. Sometimes you can queue for a game then have it crash right before the map loads. There is a "reconnect" button when you reload but it rarely works. The performance of the game is a joke. It consumes so much memory I had to turn the settings down to low to stop it from crashing my computer (which can normally run graphics intensive games at 1900X1200 on high settings - for example team fortress 2) Secondly, the game lacks even the most basic of features that are required. They only recently introduced a draft system which is a basic requirement for this genre of game. There is no built in voice chat so you have to use ventrillo, There are only two maps.
Thirdly, the pricing structure of this game is absurd. Sure you can technically play for free but you only have access to a random small selection of champions. If you decide to spend some money you can unlock a few more but even having spent 60-70 dollars you still do not own all the available champions. Add to this the fact that new champions are released every two weeks and you end up with a buggy, unfinished, imbalanced borderline scam ****. Riot's business model seems doomed to failure as I can only imagine it revolves around housebound man children with too much disposable income who are notoriously fickle and will soon be moving on to the next shiny thing to waste their money on and children who beg their parents for mom's credit card to keep feeding their addiction to new champions and new skins.
In short the game looks fun and feels fun after a couple of games but it has no depth and even in it's shallow waters there is nothing but technical issues, balance issues, and a development team so incompetent they managed to make a game that is less reliable than any other pc release of the last 10 years.
Overall, this game is a waste of time and has left me regretting the small amount of money I spent on it for such little reward.

LoL is a brilliant game that provides a very unique experience to me. Each champion is unique to master, and the battles are always exciting. It's not without it's flaws; it can be frustrating at times, and there are usually balancing issues when new champions and such come out, but the creative team are clearly very dedicated to making the game a fun and challenging experience.

I'm not a very big fan of this game. I stopped playing DotA and got my friend to also stop playing DotA to come play this game. I was very disappointed with the graphics - I cannot stand them at all! The game requires almost no skill to play. If you are really bad at DotA, then this is the game for you. Dying accounts for almost nothing in this game - you can die as much as you want and it barely affects which team will end up winning. That is good in the aspect that there is no such thing as "feeding" in this game, since dying doesn't do anything. But that also means you can't get "fed", which is something I enjoyed about doing in DotA. Graphics are terrible. My friend and I played it for a whole week, then went back to DotA, since LoL is terrible. Now, we both play Heroes of Newerth. The game is free, which it should be since it is so bad. I wouldn't expect anyone to pay for something like this. And the graphics in LoL is terrible, in case I haven't mentioned that yet. If you look for the word "fail" in the dictionary, you will see the League of Legends logo next to it.
